Project Allocation Optimizer

Overview

This page allows users to estimate reallocation options for products to help optimize cloud expenses.

The dashboard provides a visual overview of reallocation opportunities for virtual machines (VMs), detached volumes and on-demand Kubernetes nodes. emma automatically searches for more cost-effective configurations across different cloud providers and locations, identifying the most suitable low-cost options.

The chart at the top shows the flow of resources from their current data centers to recommended ones, highlighting potential savings. Beneath the chart, a detailed table lists each resource’s current setup, recommended configuration, location, and cost difference.
