PurgeOps Wants to Delete Your AWS Waste While You Sleep
PurgeOps presents an autonomous AWS cost agent that scans for idle resources, explains its findings, and can execute low-risk cleanup.
Field notes
PurgeOps describes an AWS cleanup pipeline built around a read-only IAM role, continuous resource detection, risk scoring, and approval gates. Its target waste includes idle EC2 instances, orphaned EBS volumes, zero-traffic load balancers, and oversized RDS databases across regions and accounts. The page specifies 21-day CPU and network signals for one compute example, a 30-day rollback vault, and integrations with Slack, email, and webhooks. Reported savings and production usage remain site-stated claims.
