#recommended tool in conversations start as drafts—you must manually save them for them to appear in Plan. From there, propose actions, estimate impact, capture approvals, and schedule rollouts across environments.
The Problem
Cloud optimization recommendations are worthless if they don’t get implemented. Most teams generate findings from tools like AWS Trusted Advisor, Wiz, or Cost Explorer — and those findings sit in a report until the next audit. There’s no workflow connecting finding to approval to execution to verification. Without a structured implementation workflow:- Recommendations get lost in email threads or Slack messages
- No audit trail of what was approved by whom and when
- No way to track whether implemented changes actually delivered the expected savings
- FinOps and security teams have no shared view of what’s being worked on
How Existing Tools Compare
| Tool | What It Does | What’s Missing |
|---|---|---|
| Jira / Linear | Task tracking and workflow management | Not connected to live infrastructure data or AI recommendations |
| AWS Trusted Advisor | Generates best-practice recommendations | No workflow management, no approval process, no execution tracking |
| CloudHealth / Apptio | FinOps recommendations and reporting | Recommendations only, no integrated execution or approval workflow |
| ServiceNow | ITSM workflow and change management | Complex, heavyweight, not connected to cloud infrastructure |
Workflow
Save findings to Plan
Open any draft finding from CloudKeepers, Assessments, or
#recommended conversation results and choose Save to Plan. Saved items become available for approvals, scheduling, and execution. Unsaved drafts remain in their source views and will not show in Plan.Filter recommendations (optional)
Use More Filters to scope by resource name, pillar, service, assessment, or source. This helps focus the rollout before approvals and scheduling.
View recommendation details
Open a recommendation to review impact analysis, savings, risk notes, and implementation guidance before deciding what to run.
Take action
Choose how to proceed: run impact analytics, generate guidelines, ask a custom prompt, request approvals, or implement directly.
