Non-production cloud runs roughly 168 hours a week and gets used for about 45 of them. CloudValet parks the rest: stop after hours, start before work, prove the saving.

Of the week non-production sits unused
Illustrative arithmetic for a standard working week, not a measured customer result.
01 / The FinOps cycle
Cost work fails when it's a one-off cleanup. CloudValet turns it into a loop that runs every single night, with an owner and a number attached to each stage.
Inform
We read every connected account and build a live inventory: what is running, who owns it, what it costs an hour, and how much of it is non-production.
Optimize
Utilisation over time tells us which resources are idle, which are oversized, and which are safe to park. Every recommendation carries a projected monthly saving.
Operate
Schedules run every night, exceptions are one click, and savings roll up into a report finance trusts. Waste stops coming back next quarter.
02 / How parking actually works
Working hours, timezones, public holidays, sprint demos, and on-call windows. Park at 18:30, wake at 08:30, skip the days your team actually needs the environment.
Resources stop in dependency order: app tier before database, workers before queues, so nothing wakes up broken.
Warm-up starts ahead of the first standup, with health checks before we mark the environment ready.
Some resources should shrink rather than stop. We recommend the smaller size, the saving, and the window to change it.
Anyone on the team can snooze parking for a resource for an hour or a night. Every override is logged with who and why.
Notifications land in Slack, Teams, or a webhook before a stop and after a failed action.
03 / A night in the life
You approve the plan once. After that it runs itself, and you read the outcome in the morning.
