Abandonware in the Cloud Account

Forgotten projects keep burning money and attack surface. Schedule reaping of idle resources with owner notification.

Cloud makes it easy to create and hard to remember. Idle databases, open storage, and zombie Kubernetes clusters are both cost and risk.

Reap or it will cost you twice

Implement age and idle policies, require owners on tags, and run monthly reclaim campaigns. Celebrate savings publicly so teams cooperate.

Automation helps, but culture matters: creating without owning should be socially expensive.

Javan Informatics Group helps organizations turn these priorities into governed, operable programs—not one-off projects.
