Storage · 45 checks

Stop paying for bytes nobody reads.

Storage waste hides in plain sight: volumes detached from deleted instances, snapshots of resources that are long gone, log groups that never expire, and buckets full of cold data sitting on hot-tier pricing.

Graymole inventories block storage, object storage, file systems, registries, backups, and logs across AWS, GCP, and Azure (EBS and S3, GCP persistent disks, Azure managed disks and storage accounts), and flags both outright orphans and cheaper-tier opportunities.

Where the money is

  • Unattached volumes and orphaned snapshots bill monthly for storage you can't even use.
  • gp3 is about 20% cheaper than gp2 with better baseline performance: a free win on every volume.
  • Lifecycle and Intelligent-Tiering move cold S3 data to tiers up to 95% cheaper, automatically.
  • Log retention and incomplete-multipart cleanup quietly stop a slow, permanent leak.

~20%

Migrating every gp2 volume to gp3 is roughly 20% cheaper for the same (often better) performance, with zero downtime.

What we check

A representative sample: Storage has 45 checks in total across AWS, GCP, and Azure.

Unattached EBS volumes

Volumes in 'available' state billing for nothing.

Unattached GCP persistent disks

Disks left behind by deleted Compute Engine instances.

Zombie disks on stopped GCP VMs

Stopped VMs whose disks keep billing every month.

Unattached Azure managed disks

Disks orphaned by deleted Azure VMs, still billing.

Azure storage redundancy right-sizing

GRS/RA-GRS replication where LRS would do.

gp2 to gp3 migration

~20% cheaper, better baseline IOPS, no downtime.

Orphaned EBS snapshots

Snapshots whose source volume no longer exists.

S3 buckets with cold-data candidates

Hot-tier data that hasn't been read in months.

S3 incomplete multipart uploads

Failed uploads silently accruing storage charges.

CloudWatch Logs without retention

Log groups set to 'never expire' growing forever.
