Recommendations
The Recommendations page is designed to make you aware of the less apparent deficiencies of the infrastructure, like configuration flaws and security risks.
To receive recommendations, it's essential to add a data source to FinOps for Cloud.
Once a data source is added, FinOps for Cloud analyzes it to provide recommendations to help you optimize costs and improve resource security, performance, and availability.
Currently, FinOps for Cloud performs a check every 3 hours.
The Recommendations page displays a summary of each recommendation across different categories and suggests actions to help you make informed decisions. The summary varies, depending on the condition. For instance, it might show AWS S3 duplicates found during the last check, checks that did not start or finish successfully, and so on.
Recommendations also contain one of the following symbols:
A red symbol
indicates a critical situation, indicating that you must focus on the card and its information.A green symbol
indicates that there are no recommendations or your potential savings are zero.An orange symbol
appears when certain items require attention, for instance, if there are inactive IAM users in your organization.
