The problem
Networking is where quiet waste hides: NAT gateways left behind by retired environments, elastic IPs that are allocated but unattached, and load balancers sitting in front of nothing. Each one bills hourly, and none of them are obvious in a cost total.
How Lizrd fixes it
Lizrd maps your networking resources into the graph and flags the ones with no dependents or no traffic — the idle NAT gateway, the orphaned IP, the load balancer with zero targets — with the evidence for why it’s safe and the exact resource to remove or consolidate.
The outcome
You retire dead networking with confidence instead of leaving it “just in case.” Lizrd confirms nothing depended on it, and validates the saving after you act.
“A NAT gateway left over from a decommissioned VPC had been billing for a year. It's the kind of thing you only find when something actually looks for it.”
More ways to save
Cover steady usage with commitments
Savings Plans and committed-use discounts are free money on steady baselines — if you size them right. Lizrd finds your safe, always-on floor to commit against.
Delete orphaned resources
Unattached volumes, unused IPs, and stale snapshots keep billing with nothing using them. Lizrd finds them and confirms they're safe to remove.
Modernize to Arm (Graviton)
Move steady, Arm-compatible workloads to Graviton for ~20–40% better price-performance — with the exact resources to switch and how to verify.
