Continuous Cloud Optimization
Cloud environments evolve continuously. Resources become overprovisioned, workloads drift from optimal configurations, commitments lose efficiency, and infrastructure costs climb without clear accountability.
Traditional optimization approaches rely heavily on periodic reviews and manual execution, causing organizations to miss savings opportunities and operate inefficiently.
AquilaClouds Andromeda™ continuously identifies, prioritizes, and executes optimization opportunities across compute, storage, networking, databases, cloud commitments, Kubernetes, Databricks, and Snowflake. This use case is powered primarily by Cloud AIQ, with Agent Sherlock helping teams investigate, prioritize, and act on optimization opportunities faster.

Reduce cloud waste
Accelerate waste detection and action: With Agent Sherlock’s conversational interface, engineering, cloud, and finance teams can investigate idle resources, cost spikes, oversized workloads, and missed savings opportunities in minutes instead of days. Instead of manually querying dashboards across cloud providers and services, users can ask plain-language questions and receive instant, context-rich answers that show what changed, where waste is accumulating, and what action should come next. This shortens investigation cycles and helps teams reduce waste before inefficiency becomes embedded in day-to-day operations.
Improve infrastructure efficiency
Improve operational productivity: By automating the most time-consuming aspects of cloud financial operations including data aggregation, report generation, and anomaly triage, Andromeda frees FinOps practitioners, engineers, and finance teams to focus on higher-value strategic work. Agent Sherlock handles repetitive analytical tasks through AI-driven orchestration, reducing the operational burden on teams and enabling them to manage larger, more complex cloud environments without proportionally scaling headcount.
Maximize commitment utilization
Maximize commitment utilization: Reserved Instances and Savings Plans only deliver value when coverage and utilization stay aligned to actual workload demand. Andromeda helps teams monitor commitment usage continuously, identify underused or mismatched commitments, and improve purchasing and allocation decisions over time. This helps organizations increase realized savings while reducing the risk of overcommitment or wasted capacity.
Move from recommendations to automated execution
Improve operational productivity: By automating the most time-consuming aspects of cloud financial operations including data aggregation, report generation, and anomaly triage Andromeda frees FinOps practitioners, engineers, and finance teams to focus on higher-value strategic work. Agent Sherlock handles repetitive analytical tasks through AI-driven orchestration, reducing the operational burden on teams and enabling them to manage larger, more complex cloud and AI environments without proportionally scaling headcount.
Cloud optimization is not a one-time exercise.
Organizations require continuous governance and automated optimization to keep pace with dynamic cloud environments. Andromeda transforms cloud optimization from a reactive activity into an ongoing operational capability, powered by Cloud AIQ and strengthened by Agent Sherlock.
