15 automated actions across 4 cloud providers

Flareo doesn't just find waste. It cleans it up.

Here's every action the automation engine can take — what it does, when it triggers, and what happens if you want to undo it.

Automated Actions

AWS

Amazon Web Services

Reversible

Stop EC2 Instance

Stops idle compute — billing pauses instantly. AWS keeps the volume; the instance restarts in seconds.

Triggers when: CPU < 1% for 14+ consecutive days

Irreversible

Release Elastic IP

Frees unattached IPs costing $0.005/hr each. Runs only when the IP has no association and no recent attachment history.

Triggers when: IP unattached with no recent history

Irreversible

Delete EBS Volume

Removes detached volumes that were never reattached. Data is gone permanently — irreversible by design.

Triggers when: Detached and unused for 30+ days

Irreversible

Delete S3 Bucket

Purges all object versions and delete markers first, then removes the bucket. Requires zero GET/PUT requests for 90 days.

Triggers when: 0 requests logged for 90+ days

Reversible

Downsize RDS Instance

Modifies the DB instance class (e.g. db.r5.2xlarge → db.r5.large) when the database is consistently under-utilised.

Triggers when: Avg connections < 5% of max for 21+ days

GCP

Google Cloud Platform

Reversible

Stop Compute Instance

Stops the VM and pauses per-second billing. The disk and IP are preserved — start it back with one click.

Triggers when: CPU < 1% for 14+ consecutive days

Irreversible

Delete Persistent Disk

Removes GCS persistent disks that are no longer attached to any instance and have had no snapshot activity.

Triggers when: Unattached and no snapshots for 30+ days

Irreversible

Release Static IP

Releases unused reserved external IP addresses so you stop paying for idle address reservations.

Triggers when: IP reserved but not attached

Irreversible

Delete Snapshot

Deletes stale snapshots no longer tied to active restore plans, reducing snapshot storage spend.

Triggers when: Snapshot age and dependency checks pass

Azure

Microsoft Azure

Reversible

Stop Virtual Machine

Deallocates the VM — Azure stops charging for compute immediately. The disk and public IP are preserved.

Triggers when: CPU < 1% for 14+ consecutive days

Irreversible

Delete Managed Disk

Deletes unattached managed disks after a safety check confirms they are not mounted by any VM.

Triggers when: Unattached for 30+ days

Reversible

Resize Virtual Machine

Moves oversized VMs to smaller SKUs based on sustained low usage. Original size is stored for rollback.

Triggers when: Low CPU and memory usage for 14+ days

DigitalOcean

DigitalOcean

Reversible

Power Off Droplet

Powers off the droplet gracefully. DigitalOcean still bills for the reserved IP — but compute stops immediately.

Triggers when: CPU < 1% for 14+ consecutive days

Irreversible

Delete Volume

Deletes orphaned block storage volumes not attached to any Droplet and not marked for retention.

Triggers when: Detached volume for 30+ days

Reversible

Resize Droplet

Rightsizes over-provisioned Droplets to a smaller plan. Flareo stores the previous plan for rollback.

Triggers when: Persistent low utilization

Autopilot System

You choose how much Flareo does on its own.

Three modes. All reversible. Always within a daily limit you control.

Safe

48-hour delay before execution. Reversible actions only. Your explicit approval required on each.

Conservative

Your one-time approval, then instant execution. All action types. Daily limit enforced.

Aggressive

Fully automatic within confidence threshold. No manual approval. Runs every 30 minutes.

Activates only after 3 manually-confirmed actions — trust earned first
Configurable daily limit — blast radius is always capped
Kill switch pauses all automation instantly

Scheduled Actions

Set it. Walk away.

Approve an action to run at a specific date and time. Flareo dispatches it automatically — no cron job required.

Example

Weekdays at 8:00 PM

Weekdays at 9:00 AM

Dispatch runs every minute. Rollback available for 24h on reversible actions.

Safety Rails

Every action has a safety net.

Flareo is designed to act — but never to surprise you.

One-click rollback

Every reversible action can be undone within 24 hours. One click, no scripts.

Protected resources

Mark any resource as protected. Flareo will never generate an action for it — ever.

Full audit log

Every action is timestamped, attributed to a user or "autopilot", and permanently logged.
