CloudBudgetMaster — Stop Burning Money on Idle Cloud Resources

1 min read Original article ↗

Free tool · no signup

A read-only script you run in your own terminal — nothing leaves your machine, no credentials shared, no signup. It lists the four most common AWS money leaks:

  • • Unattached EBS volumes (billed while idle)
  • • Unassociated Elastic IPs (~$3.65/mo each)
  • Stopped EC2 instances (you still pay for their storage)
  • Idle RDS databases (zero connections)

Requires the AWS CLI configured with read access (e.g. ReadOnlyAccess). Scans one region — set AWS_REGION to change it.

Want this automatically — with the exact $/month?

CloudBudgetMaster connects read-only to AWS and tracks waste across all regions, with real prices and monthly trends. GCP & Azure coming soon.
