How does trimcloud work?
1. You provide trimcloud with minimal, read-only AWS credentials that allow us to do nothing but monitor your resource utilization. Read here on how to generate read-only AWS credentials. (We won’t have access to your data, read here for more about security & privacy.)
2. Using these secure credentials, we will monitor your AWS resources in all regions, and periodically check each one of them for their utilization history.
3. When we detect a resource that we consider idle, we let you know about it, either via an email or a Slack message.
