What is ZapStack?

ZapStack is an AWS cost optimization platform that helps you identify unused resources, cost-saving opportunities, and idle infrastructure across your AWS accounts.

Key Features

Unused Resource Detection

Find resources that are provisioned but not being used:
  • Unattached EBS volumes
  • Unused Elastic IPs
  • Orphaned security groups
  • Idle load balancers

Cost Optimization Opportunities

Identify ways to reduce your AWS bill:
  • GP2 to GP3 EBS volume migrations
  • x86 to Graviton instance upgrades
  • Reserved Instance recommendations
  • Savings Plans opportunities

Idle Resource Identification

Detect resources with minimal utilization:
  • Underutilized EC2 instances
  • Low-traffic RDS databases
  • Idle DynamoDB tables
  • Unused Lambda functions

How It Works

1

Connect Your AWS Account

Deploy our CloudFormation template to create a read-only IAM role in your AWS account.
2

Run Analysis

ZapStack scans your AWS resources using the IAM role to identify optimization opportunities.
3

Review Findings

View detailed recommendations in the dashboard with estimated savings and implementation steps.
4

Take Action

Implement changes directly or export recommendations for your team.

Security

ZapStack uses read-only IAM roles with minimal required permissions. We never:
  • Store your AWS credentials
  • Make changes to your infrastructure
  • Access sensitive data in your resources
See our IAM Role documentation for complete details on the permissions we request.
