Cost visibility for teams that move fast.
DevOps teams provision, modify, and tear down infrastructure constantly. Cirrova gives them the cost feedback they need to move fast without making things expensive.
Speed and cost efficiency shouldn't be in conflict.
DevOps teams move quickly by design — but that speed can create cost problems that go undetected for weeks. A misconfigured pipeline leaves a large VM running. A load test environment never gets cleaned up. A new deployment doubles compute costs because the scaling policy wasn't tuned.
Cirrova brings the cost feedback loop close to the people making infrastructure decisions. Near real-time visibility, immediate anomaly alerts, and specific recommendations — so your team catches problems early and fixes them fast.
Cost intelligence built into the way DevOps works.
Near real-time cost impact visibility
See the cost impact of infrastructure changes quickly — not at month-end. Cirrova regularly pulls data from Azure so you can see what a new deployment is costing within hours.
Anomaly alerts for runaway costs
Catch the runaway VM, the misconfigured scaling policy, or the test environment that wasn't torn down — before they generate a significant bill. Route alerts to Slack, Teams, on-call paging, or a custom webhook.
Dev/test environment tracking
See exactly what your dev and test environments are costing, identify resources running outside business hours, and find opportunities to use cheaper dev/test pricing.
Orphaned resource cleanup
As environments change, resources get left behind. Cirrova continuously identifies orphaned disks, snapshots, and network interfaces that can be safely removed.
Resource group-level visibility
DevOps teams typically organise infrastructure by resource groups. Cirrova gives you clear cost visibility at that level so you can see what each environment, service, or project is spending.
Budget integration
Set budgets for dev and test resource groups and get alerted before you breach them — so provisioning decisions are made with budget awareness built in.
Deployment event correlation
Record deployments, releases, and configuration changes via the Cirrova API and see them overlaid on your cost data — so when a cost spike appears you can immediately see what changed.
Resource expiry tagging
Tag ephemeral resources with an expiry date and let Cirrova surface everything that has outlived its intended lifetime — before it quietly drains your budget.
Webhook events for incident & automation
Drop anomaly and budget breach events into PagerDuty for on-call paging, ServiceNow or Jira for incident creation, or Power Automate / Zapier flows that trigger your remediation runbooks. Custom webhooks are signed and retried — built for production workflows.
Link deployments to cost changes.
Every time you deploy, release a feature flag, or push a configuration change, Cirrova can record it as an Event — a timestamped marker that appears alongside your cost and anomaly data so you always know what changed and when.
Mark the moments that matter.
Create Events for deployments, releases, infrastructure changes, and more. Each Event is timestamped and scoped to a tenant so it surfaces in exactly the right context.
Automate from your pipeline.
A single REST API call from a GitHub Actions step, Azure DevOps task, or any deployment tool is all it takes. Events appear in Cirrova the moment the pipeline step runs.
Instantly explain cost spikes.
When an anomaly fires, Events tell you at a glance whether a deployment or scaling change coincided with it. Tag-scoped events mean each resource and resource group shows only the events relevant to it — no noise from unrelated tenants or platforms.
Give every ephemeral resource a planned end of life.
PR environments, load-test rigs, and sandbox subscriptions are meant to be temporary — but without enforcement they routinely outlive their purpose by days, weeks, or months. Resource Expiry Tagging lets you build a planned lifetime directly into your Azure resources.
Tag-driven — no agents required.
Configure which Azure tag key to treat as the expiry date (e.g. cirrova-expires) per tenant. Cirrova reads it during each snapshot run — no agents or sidecars needed.
Graduated expiry recommendations.
Expired resources generate an Expired Resource recommendation with severity that scales with how long overdue: Medium (<7 days), High (7–30 days), Critical (>30 days).
Expiry-aware resource filtering.
Filter the Resources list to show only expired resources, or resources expiring within a configurable number of days — so your daily review stays focused on what's about to become waste.
Expiry reports with cost context.
The Expired Resources report lists every past-expiry resource with its associated cost, plus a separate section for resources carrying a missing or unparseable expiry tag.
How it works
- Define a resource expiry tag prefix on your tenants.
- Tag your Azure resources with the configured key and an ISO date value (e.g.
cirrova-expires: 2026-05-01). - Cirrova reads the tag on each snapshot run and tracks the expiry date alongside cost data.
- Expired resources surface as recommendations and appear in the Expired Resources report.
Set the expiry tag in your Bicep, Terraform, or ARM templates at provision time — so every ephemeral environment ships with its planned end of life already declared.
Resources with a missing or unparseable expiry value are flagged separately — so tagging gaps are visible rather than quietly excluded from the report.
