What is CloudCADI?
CloudCADI is an enterprise FinOps (Cloud Financial Operations) platform that helps organizations monitor, optimize, govern, and automate cloud costs across AWS, Azure, GCP, and multi-cloud environments. Unlike many SaaS FinOps tools, CloudCADI runs inside the customer's own cloud environment, so billing and operational data never leave the organization's infrastructure.
Overview
- Purpose: Give organizations full visibility and control over cloud spend — across multiple providers — without sending billing or usage data to a third-party SaaS.
- Core capabilities:
- Monitor — aggregate and visualize cloud cost and usage data across AWS, Azure, GCP, and other environments
- Optimize — surface rightsizing, waste, and savings opportunities
- Govern — apply budgets, policies, and approval workflows to cloud spend
- Automate — trigger remediation and reporting actions based on cost/usage signals
- Deployment model: CloudCADI is deployed as containers on Kubernetes, backed by PostgreSQL, inside your own AWS/Azure/GCP environment — see Deployment for platform-specific guides.
Key Concepts
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| FinOps | The discipline of bringing financial accountability to the variable spend model of the cloud, shared across engineering, finance, and business teams |
| Self-hosted deployment | CloudCADI runs entirely within the customer's own cloud account(s)/network rather than as a multi-tenant SaaS — billing and usage data stays in the customer's infrastructure |
| Multi-cloud | A single CloudCADI deployment can ingest and correlate cost/usage data from AWS, Azure, GCP, and other providers |

Replace this page with screenshots and a high-level architecture diagram of your own once you have them (Mermaid works great here — see the Deployment section for an example).
