ZopNight 1.0: General Availability

ZopNight is generally available. Connect AWS, GCP, and Azure in under a minute and start cutting spend across your whole footprint: schedule non-production resources off nights and weekends, and trim production with 337+ evidence-backed audit rules. No agents, no cluster deploys, read-only by default, and ZopNight only ever starts and stops resources.

  • New Schedule anything with a visual weekly grid: click and drag across a 7-day x time-slot matrix, no cron syntax required
  • New Dependency-aware resource groups start and stop resources in the right order: database before app server, and the reverse on teardown
  • New One-time overrides (force_on / force_off) with an expiry, for maintenance windows and incidents
  • New Connect AWS, GCP, and Azure in under 60 seconds: every mainstream auth method per cloud, with the exact IAM / role JSON generated live for your chosen permission tier
  • New Full inventory discovery with topology, 14-day metrics (CPU, network, disk, memory), and bulk start / stop
  • New Architecture view: a 3D globe of every region plus a full hierarchy canvas with inline recommendations and metrics on every node
  • New 337+ audit rules across AWS, GCP, and Azure surface idle, right-sizing, orphan, commitment, and governance savings with 14-day evidence and current-vs-optimized cost
  • New Auto-tagging predicts prod / staging / dev with confidence scoring and human approval, feeding showback attribution
  • New Scheduled VM autoscaling for ASG, VMSS, and MIG, with Business Hours, Peak Hours, and Weekend Scale-Down presets
  • New Event Readiness: pre-scale for traffic spikes with a guided wizard and automatic rollback after the event
  • New Dashboard, cost forecasting, showback by team and tag, multi-currency, budget tracking, and cost anomaly detection with root-cause breakdown
  • New Organizations, teams, and role-based access control with full audit logging and Slack, Microsoft Teams, Email, and Google Chat notifications
  • New MCP server with read-only tools for Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, and Windsurf
  • New API-first platform: 125+ REST endpoints with consistent pagination and personal access tokens
  • New Industry Playground: an instant, no-auth demo across finance, retail, and healthcare scenarios

MCP Server GA

ZopNight MCP Server is now generally available. Any MCP-compatible AI client, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex, can now query your cloud state, surface findings, and apply remediations with approval. This release also ships a significant improvement to anomaly detection sensitivity and expands GCP region support.

  • New MCP tool: get_showback_report, department-level cost data accessible from AI clients
  • Improved Anomaly detection sensitivity: 40% fewer false positives on seasonal workloads
  • New GCP region expansion: us-west2 (Los Angeles) and europe-west1 (Belgium) now supported

Schedule v2

Recurring schedules now support full cron expressions with timezone awareness. Slack notification integration ships alongside this release, giving teams visibility into scheduled actions without logging into ZopNight. Azure Scale Set support rounds out the compute coverage for Azure customers.

Showback Dashboard

The new Showback dashboard gives FinOps and finance teams a department-level cost view without requiring engineering support to build custom reports. CSV export and custom date range selection make it suitable for monthly reporting workflows.

  • New CSV export: download showback data for any date range, compatible with Excel and Google Sheets
  • New Custom date ranges: select any 1–90 day window for showback reporting
  • Improved Showback data now updates every 4 hours (previously daily)

Recommendations Engine

The recommendations engine now uses a 90-day utilization baseline, up from 14 days, giving much more stable rightsizing signals. Every recommendation ships with a confidence score and estimated payback timeline. One-click rightsizing for EC2 and RDS is now available for all accounts with sufficient permissions.

  • New 90-day utilization baseline for all rightsizing recommendations (previously 14-day)

  • New Cross-account RBAC: assign per-account view or manage permissions to team members

Tag Policies

Tag policies let admins gate showback views, schedules, and remediation approvals on resource tags. A new policy editor walks teams through scoping access to a department or environment without touching IAM. Tag inheritance from AWS Organizations is honored throughout the policy engine.

  • New Tag policy editor: gate ZopNight views and actions on resource tag values
  • New AWS Organizations tag inheritance is now respected in policy evaluation
  • Improved Policy violations now include a one-click "request access" flow for end users
  • Fixed Policy preview no longer mis-classifies resources missing the tag key

Drift Detection

Drift Detection compares the live state of your AWS accounts against the last known good baseline and flags resources whose configuration has changed outside of scheduled actions. Email digests summarize drift overnight; the dashboard lets you accept or reject changes per resource.

  • New Daily drift digest emailed to workspace admins at 08:00 local time
  • New Per-resource accept / reject controls for drift events
  • New Slack notification channel for high-impact drift (security groups, IAM)
  • Improved Baseline snapshots now retained for 180 days (previously 30)

Custom Budgets

Define monthly cost budgets per team or environment and receive proactive Slack and email notifications when projected spend exceeds 80, 95, and 100 percent of the budget. Budget owners get a weekly summary; finance gets the rolled-up view.

  • New Per-team monthly budget definition with daily projection
  • New Configurable alert thresholds at 80 / 95 / 100 percent of budget
  • New Weekly budget summary email to budget owners

  • New Atlas Inventory full-text search across resources, tags, and attributes
  • New Saved searches: pin frequently used filters per workspace
  • New Boolean operators (AND / OR / NOT) supported in the search bar
  • Improved Inventory page load is now 35 percent faster for accounts with >50k resources

Snapshot Cleanup

A new Snapshot Cleanup workflow identifies EBS snapshots whose source volume no longer exists and surfaces the recoverable cost. Customers reclaim an average of 12 percent of their EBS spend in the first run.

  • New Orphaned EBS snapshot detection across all connected AWS accounts
  • New Bulk-delete workflow with two-step approval and dry-run preview
  • New Per-account exclusion rules for compliance-pinned snapshots
