Cloud spend anomaly detection
Cloud spend anomaly detection: Sample subscription spend rose from $12,000 to $18,000 per month.
Not Started
This sample persona can approve the defined action. Business/resource owner review authorizes an optimization plan only; no resource shutdown or realized saving.
Service context
$6,000 monthly variance requires investigation, not assumed recoverable savings.
$12,000
$18,000
$16,200
$1,800 projected monthly opportunity · low utilization supports review. Not realized savings.
Evidence-backed recommendation
Start investigation to inspect the sample evidence and supported hypothesis.

BILL-13: Monthly spend increased 50% to $18,000. UTIL-13: Three nonproduction VMs average 8% CPU utilization. INV-13: VM owners and nonproduction tags confirmed in this sample. Deterministic sample assessment, not a calibrated model probability.
- Nonproduction VM plan only; no real resource shutdown
- Configured medium risk scenario
Proposed action
Record an owner-approved right-sizing recommendation for three sample VMs.
Nonproduction VM plan only; no real resource shutdown
Each action updates deterministic demo state only.
