Cut cloud waste.
Cut carbon.
Cut costs.

The GreenOps platform automatically finds idle infrastructure, bloated databases, and inefficient code — then shows you estimated CO2 and cost savings you could achieve.

Zero code changes required

The cloud is greener than you think.
But most companies never optimize.

Corporate cloud environments are notoriously bloated. While engineering teams ship features, infrastructure silently racks up waste — and carbon.

Idle Infrastructure

Many cloud workloads run underutilized or idle outside business hours, consuming energy at data centers while doing little productive work.

Bloated Databases

Uncompressed, duplicated, and poorly indexed data forces storage and compute resources to work harder — increasing both cost and emissions.

Inefficient Pipelines

Legacy code, unoptimized queries, and over-provisioned clusters force processors to waste cycles. Every inefficiency is a line item on your cloud bill and your carbon report.

Automated GreenOps in three steps

No engineering overhead. No code changes. Just connect, scan, and start saving.

01

Connect

Link your AWS account via a secure, read-only IAM role. We never touch your live application code.

02

Analyze

Our engine scans usage patterns, billing data, and telemetry to identify idle VMs, unattached volumes, over-provisioned clusters, and more.

03

Optimize

Receive a clean dashboard showing estimated potential savings and CO2 reduction. Export reports to support your CSRD and sustainability disclosures.

Free, read-only audit

One command. Real findings in about a minute.

Run a local scan against your AWS profile. No data leaves your laptop — you get a ranked list of waste, the dollars behind it, and the carbon footprint attached. Illustrative sample output below.

Where the biggest savings are

ECS Fargate — over-provisioned25 findings · $1359/mo
S3 — no lifecycle policies37 findings · $415/mo
RDS — idle, old instance types12 findings · $266/mo
Lambda — zombie, x86 functions55 findings · $164/mo

Top single fix in this scan: 3 ECS services running below 5% CPU with 8–16 vCPU allocated — $864/month on its own.

What gets scanned

Ten AWS services, checked in parallel, in a single read-only pass.

EC2

Idle instances, Intel → Graviton upgrades, unattached EBS

S3

Missing lifecycle policies, untiered storage

ECS

Over-provisioned Fargate, validated with 30-day CloudWatch

EKS

Non-Graviton nodes, missing autoscaler

Lambda

Zombie functions, legacy runtimes, x86 → ARM

RDS

Idle DBs, Graviton upgrades, old snapshots

ElastiCache

Idle caches, Graviton upgrades

CloudFront

Unused distributions, outdated TLS

EBS Snapshots

Old snapshots, unused AMIs

VPC Endpoints

NAT Gateway paying to reach S3/DynamoDB instead of a free endpoint

How safe and reliable is it?

Built so you stay in full control — the scan runs entirely inside your own AWS account.

Your AWS account → greenops-scan (local CLI) → PDF + JSON report

Read-only by design

Uses AWS read-only APIs only. Your credentials never leave your machine. No agent, no server, no data sent to us.

Usage-validated

Findings are checked against 30-day CloudWatch metrics before being reported, to avoid flagging resources that are actually busy.

Green Software Foundation methodology

Carbon estimates follow Green Software Foundation principles; cost estimates use current AWS pricing, not static rules.

Decision-support, not a replacement

This is a prioritization tool, not a billing system. Start with the top 10 findings and verify in your environment before rollout.

Free CLI tool

greenops-scan is free to run. Right now.

A free CLI tool that scans your AWS account for cost waste and carbon hotspots, and gives you risk-free insights — entirely read-only, with no credentials ever leaving your machine.

  • No signup, no SaaS, no credit card
  • Nothing to install — runs via npx
  • Read-only: only needs the AWS ReadOnlyAccess policy
  • Get a JSON + branded PDF report in ~2–3 minutes
Interactive scan
npx greenops-scan
Non-interactive / CI
npx greenops-scan --provider aws --profile production --region eu-west-1
Only high-impact findings
npx greenops-scan --severity high,critical
Built for coding agents

greenops-scan speaks agent, too.

Point Copilot, Claude, Cursor, or any coding agent at your AWS account and let it run the scan, parse the findings, and hand you a prioritized cleanup plan — no dashboard, no SaaS integration required.

Read SKILLS.md
Fully non-interactive

Every prompt has a flag and an env var (--profile, --region, GREENOPS_NON_INTERACTIVE=1) so an agent can run a scan without ever getting stuck on a TUI prompt.

Structured --json output

A versioned, documented schema on stdout — findings, per-module summaries, and Cost Explorer billing context, all ready to parse.

Built-in prioritization

SKILLS.md spells out exactly how to rank findings by monthlySavingsUsd so an agent can surface the biggest-impact issues first, not just dump a wall of findings.

Value-led pricing

Start free. Scale as you save. No long-term contracts.

Free CLI is great for a one-off check. GreenOps Cloud is built for ongoing operations:

Automatic, regular scanning

The CLI runs when you type the command. GreenOps Cloud schedules scans for you, so nothing goes stale.

All issues in one web UI

No more re-reading JSON/PDF reports. Every finding, across every account, lives in a searchable dashboard.

Multiple users per team

Invite your whole team or company, assign roles, and share the same view of cost and carbon waste.

Jira integration (soon)

Turn findings directly into Jira tickets so remediation work lands where your team already plans it.

Every Finding Now Tells You Which Team, Project, and Stack Owns It

GreenOps Scan now attaches each flagged resource's AWS tags — Project, Environment, Team, even the exact CloudFormation stack and logical ID — straight into every finding, no new IAM permissions required.

Stop Pasting AWS CLI Commands Into Prod — Let Your Agent Fix the Code Instead

GreenOps Scan's new --llm-prompts flag turns every finding into a copy/paste prompt for Copilot, Claude, or Cursor to fix in your actual Terraform/CDK/CloudFormation source — no more IaC drift from hand-run remediation commands.
