How we torched $18k/mo of AWS waste in 9 minutes

Behind the scenes of a CostDestroyer audit that found five-figure monthly waste before coffee cooled.

We kicked off with read-only IAM credentials and a single account scope. Within nine minutes the AI agents flagged:

  • Over-provisioned RDS burst instances that never crossed 10% CPU.
  • Idle ECS services left running after a migration.
  • Zombie EBS snapshots replicating daily with no attached volumes.

The remediation plan pulled down $18,420 in monthly burn. Human follow-up time: 22 minutes. Bezos’ yacht fund: denied.
