nOps

AWS focused FinOps platform automating cost optimization, commitment management, and resource rightsizing to reduce cloud spend by up to 50% with automated Spot to On Demand workload shifting.

About nOps

nOps is an end to end AWS cost optimization platform founded in 2017 by JT Giri and Ashok Seetharaman as a spin out from nClouds, an AWS Premier Consulting Partner. Recently ranked #1 in G2's Cloud Cost Management category, nOps helps organizations simplify and automate the management of cloud resources, commitments, and costs across AWS environments. The platform manages over $2 billion in AWS spend and serves fast moving cloud native DevOps teams requiring instant visibility into cloud environment changes.

The platform combines cost visibility and allocation capabilities with autonomous optimization through three core modules. Business Contexts provides complete visibility into cloud spend with cost allocation, container visibility, automated tagging, and business unit economics. Compute Copilot delivers autonomous usage and rate optimization for all AWS compute including commitment management, Spot orchestration, EKS and ECS rightsizing, and ASG optimization. Cloud Optimization Essentials automates time consuming tasks like eliminating idle resources, rightsizing compute and storage, and resource scheduling.

nOps differentiates itself through unique capabilities like automatically shifting Spot workloads to On Demand instances to utilize unused Compute Savings Plans, a feature that recovers 40% to 95% of wasted commitment spend. The platform also tracks and optimizes Migration Acceleration Program benefits and Private Pricing Addendum agreements, helping organizations maximize enterprise discount programs. With a lightweight agent requiring no infrastructure changes and onboarding under 5 minutes, nOps delivers immediate cost insights and automated optimization without operational overhead.
