stackArmor debuts stackArmor OpsAlert offering to reduce cloud costs by detecting and eliminating idle capacity

stackArmor has unveiled stackArmor OpsAlert cloud operations management solution for busy product managers, product owners and business managers with a stake in financially optimized cloud hosting. 

stackArmor OpsAlert provides actionable intelligence on cloud utilization and cost using simple business oriented metrics. These metrics allow business managers and product managers to detect idle capacity and improve utilization thereby increasing margins for cloud-based products.



Continuous monitoring of cloud operations and costs is a critical need for government program managers, who must stay compliant with Antideficiency Act requirements. It also comes with the capability to monitor cloud costs, detect cloud resource idling, and track cloud contract data in a single dashboard provides situational awareness and transparency.

stackArmor OpsAlert has been designed from the ground up to meet the needs of government agencies in monitoring cloud costs in compliance with FedRAMP, FISMA and DFARS requirements through its unique "ibn-boundary" deployment model. The "in-boundary" deployment model ensures that all operational and cost data remains within the system boundary, unlike SaaS solutions that install agents and are not FedRAMP-accredited.

stackArmor OpsAlert is geared for management oversight using easy to understand business metrics drive accountability. The stackArmor Cloud Idle Score provides an instant and easy to understand metric for detecting idle capacity that is being paid for but not utilized. 


It also aids in  accountability using simple categorization of cloud instances into highly idle, moderately idle or low idle allow managers to ask the right questions and drill-down to eliminate wastage, and increase margins. SaaS product hosted on AWS can improve their margins by improving operational efficiency of cloud assets by eliminating idle capacity.

The ability to interpret complex cost, operations and utilization data is essential for effective management. Using advanced data aggregation, integration and data science methods, stackArmor OpsAlert shows utilization, idle and cost data side by side to enable decision making.

stackArmor OpsAlert include actionable insights with proven algorithms to detect idle and waste to help product managers, SaaS CFO’s and business managers track cloud spend and bring it under control. It offers accountability across distributed teams with dashboards and emails to help agile product teams quickly see cloud spending and eliminate wastage using the Cloud Idle Score across Regions and AWS Accounts.


stackArmor OpsAlert is tailored for fast growing organizations that are unable to dedicate full-time resources for cloud cost and utilization management. Its fully managed billing and cloud operations support services are cost-effective tools for busy cloud product owners, product managers and program managers looking for force-multipliers.
