Find idle hours.
Stop paying for them.
Most cloud waste comes from resources left running. Dev and test environments run 24/7, services stay on during weekends, temporary resources are forgotten. Every unused hour costs you money. Cloud bills feel random because idle time keeps adding up. CloudAvocado stops the waste. Resources run only when needed.
Product Capabilities
Smart scheduling removes idle cloud time without scripts or manual work.
Start and stop schedules
Built for non-production enviroments
Flexible schedules
Schedule visibility
Set working hours once. Resources stop outside those hours and start again when work resumes.
Works with dev, test, and temporary environments by default. Production workloads stay out of scope.
Use different schedules per environment. Pause or exclude resources when needed.
You can always see which resources are scheduled, when they start and stop, and what’s excluded.

Key Benefits:
Simple setup process
Multi-account management
Extensive automation options
Clear cost insights dashboard
We have decent dev and stage environments in different AWS accounts, which can be stopped for a non working hours. CloudAvocado helped us stop MongoDB Atlas. How it shows data and dashboard – just great, it helps us focus on things where we can save the most, from a cost perspective.

Key Benefits:
Automated RDS scheduling
Zero performance impact
Clear cost visibility
User-friendly dashboards
CloudAvocado Cost Optimization has been a real lifesaver when it comes to handling our cloud expenses. The RDS scheduling feature is a gem – it automates the start and stop of our DB instances based on our actual needs, saving us money without sacrificing performance.

Data Scientist
Key Benefits:
Instant savings
24/7 idle resources eliminated
Tag-based automation
Improved cost visibility
It was very easy to save a lot from the very beginning. We used CloudAvocado to calculate and reduce budget waste caused by idle resources and non-production instances that were turned on 24/7.

How it works
Automatic scheduling in four steps
01
Define working hours
Set when your non-production resources should run. Weekdays from 8:00 to 19:00, for example. Outside those hours, resources are treated as idle.
02
Choose what to schedule
Select resources by tags (env=dev, env=test) or individually per resource. Apply rules broadly or adjust them for specific cases.
03
Smart scheduling takes over
Resources stop outside working hours and start again before the next workday. Everything happens automatically.
04
Monitor and adjust anytime
See what’s scheduled, when resources stop and start, and what’s excluded. Pause or update schedules anytime.
Benefits
Immediate cost reduction
Typical savings of 30-60% on non-production spend. Production workloads remain unaffected.
Less mental work
Teams stop thinking about shutdowns. It happens on its own.
Control without chaos
Clear, consistent rules replace random decisions. Everyone follows the same process.
Zero impact on delivery
Resources are available when teams work. Nothing slows developers down.
