Monitoring your usage

With a secure, read-only cross-account role, MilkStraw AI regularly checks your AWS usage and cost data, including running instances, services, savings coverage, and on-demand spend.

​
Identifying opportunities

MilkStraw AI looks for two main scenarios:
  • Uncovered On-Demand usage: When on-demand usage can be covered by , we flag it as a savings opportunity.
  • Underutilized savings: If any in your organization aren’t being fully used, we mark them for removal.

​
Triggering actions

When an opportunity is found, MilkStraw AI automatically:
  • Transfers MilkBoxes to your organization to unlock savings.
  • Removes underutilized MilkBoxes to prevent waste.
This dynamic, ongoing process ensures your savings always match your usage, maximizing efficiency with zero guesswork.
