01
Usage efficiency
Rightsize compute, databases and Kubernetes using utilization, seasonality and service constraints.
ARCO FinOps · Interactive planning
Turn cloud spend into an accountable operating decision.
Give finance and cloud teams a shared view of AWS and GCP cost, forecasts, anomalies, and savings opportunities—then move validated actions into engineering delivery.

Usage & rightsizing
Rates & commitments
Architecture & waste
This is an educational planning range, not guaranteed savings. A defensible business case requires billing exports, utilization, commitments, architecture and reliability constraints.
Interactive operating model
Explore what mature FinOps must actually control.
Visibility is only the starting point. Select each capability to see the evidence ARCO connects to an accountable working outcome.
Active capability
Make every material dollar explainable.
Create decision-ready cost views across accounts, projects, products, environments, owners, and business units.
Evidence considered
Tag and cost-category coverage
Shared-cost allocation
Unit economics and showback
Working outcome
Accountable cost baseline
Optimization coverage
A business case built across the full cloud bill.
Discounts alone are not a FinOps strategy. ARCO combines commercial, usage, architecture, and operating evidence so recommendations remain practical after implementation.
02
Rate optimization
Model Savings Plans, reservations and GCP commitments against stable demand without unsafe lock-in.
03
Storage & data
Review storage tiers, snapshots, logs, backups, lifecycle rules and data-transfer patterns.
04
Architecture
Find structural waste across networking, idle environments, platform choices and duplicated services.
05
Governance
Create allocation, budgets, anomaly response, ownership and a recurring optimization operating rhythm.

Questions
ARCO FinOps FAQ
Is the calculator a guaranteed savings quote?
No. It provides a directional planning range. Verified savings require billing, utilization, commitment, architecture and reliability analysis.
Does ARCO FinOps support both AWS and GCP?
Yes. The estimator and assessment workflow cover AWS and Google Cloud, including Kubernetes, databases, storage, network and commercial commitments.
Do you need production access?
The calculator needs no access. A detailed assessment normally begins with read-only billing and utilization evidence, followed by an agreed access plan where deeper validation is required.
Can ARCO implement the recommendations?
Yes. ARCO can support rightsizing, commitment planning, Terraform changes, Kubernetes tuning, governance controls and recurring FinOps operations.
Make the estimate defensible
Build the savings case finance and engineering can both own.
Start with scoped billing and utilization evidence. Leave with validated economics, implementation priorities, and named ownership.
