Released PersistentVolume

A released volume still holds the previous claim's data and cannot be bound by anything new until it is reclaimed, so its capacity is both billed and unusable.

Free to start. No card. The playground just needs your work email.

Found, explained, handed over.

Findings with a dollar figure attached, idle, oversized, orphaned, unscheduled and undiscounted spend.

01

Detect

ZopNight checks this automatically across AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, with read-only access to the account.

02

Explain

Every finding says exactly what to change: Delete the released persistent volume. Where the saving can be proven it is priced; where it cannot, the finding says so.

03

Fix

The finding opens with the change already spelled out, so the fix is one ticket, not an investigation.
