Why? Existing cost management tools are either expensive SaaS products or slow dashboards buried in cloud consoles. I wanted something fast, CLI-first, and multi-cloud that I could run in CI/CD or my terminal.

What it does: - Scans your cloud accounts and finds idle VMs, unattached volumes, oversized databases, unused resources - Returns a ranked list of opportunities with estimated monthly savings - 26 analyzers across AWS, Azure, and GCP - Read-only (never modifies infrastructure)

Key features: • HTML reports with interactive charts (new in v0.6.2) • AI-powered explanations (OpenAI or local Ollama) • Export formats: HTML, Excel, CSV, JSON, terminal • Multi-Cloud - AWS, Azure, and GCP support (26 analyzers)

Quick example: npm install -g cloud-cost-cli cloud-cost-cli scan --provider aws --output html

Real impact: One scan found $11k/year in savings (empty App Service Plan, over-provisioned CosmosDB, idle caches).

Technical stack: - TypeScript - AWS/Azure/GCP SDKs - Commander.js for CLI - Chart.js for HTML reports - Optional OpenAI/Ollama integration

Open source (MIT): https://github.com/vuhp/cloud-cost-cli npm: cloud-cost-cli

Would love feedback on: 1. What features would be most useful? 2. Should I add historical tracking (trends)? 3. Any missing cloud providers?
