" summary

Claims 30% of cloud spend is wasted, demonstrates use of AWS Trusted Advisor and Cost Explorer for visibility, and shows concrete levers: right‑sizing, autoscaling, spot/reserved/on‑demand mix, lifecycle tiers and density optimization. Presents prompt patterns (a FinOps expert role) and an agentic workflow that actually shuts down or resizes idle resources using language‑model tooling and orchestration (LangChain/CrewAI style). Includes monitoring, anomaly detection, and a demand‑forecasting example tied to cost reductions.
