Installation
SKILL.md
Purpose & When-To-Use
Primary trigger conditions:
- Operating workloads across 2+ cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Azure) with monthly spend >$50k
- Seeking cost arbitrage opportunities by placing workloads on most cost-effective cloud
- Need unified view of waste and optimization opportunities across all clouds
- Balancing commitment purchases (RIs, Savings Plans, CUDs) across multiple providers
- High egress costs (>15% of total spend) from cross-cloud data transfer
- Executive request for multi-cloud cost consolidation and reduction
- FinOps team managing multiple cloud providers seeking unified optimization
When NOT to use this skill:
- Single cloud deployment → use finops-cost-analyzer instead
- Multi-cloud strategic planning phase → use cloud-multicloud-advisor first
- Real-time cost tracking → use native cloud dashboards
- Workloads cannot be migrated due to compliance/latency constraints
