+# aws-waste-hunter
+
+Read-only, auditable AWS waste scanner that tells you **how many dollars** you can save.
+Built by [Helyx IT](https://helyxit.com).
+
+> **Status:** alpha (0.1.0). Parallel multi-region and cross-account scans, live pricing, six checks including metric-based idle detection with a hard cost cap.
+
+## Why this one
+- **It can't change your account.** Every AWS call is `Describe*`, `List*` or `Get*`, enforced
+  three ways: in code, in tests, and in the IAM policy you attach.
+- **It runs on your machine.** No SaaS, no agent, no telemetry. Nothing leaves your account.
+- **You can read all of it.** Small codebase, minimal dependencies, published least-privilege
+  IAM policy.
+- **It speaks dollars.** Every finding has a monthly cost and a savings estimate, priced from
+  the live AWS Price List API.
+
+## Install
+```bash
+pipx install aws-waste-hunter        # after the first PyPI release
+docker build -t aws-waste-hunter . && docker run --rm -v ~/.aws:/home/scanner/.aws:ro \
+  aws-waste-hunter scan --region us-east-1 --profile my-sso-profile
+pip install --require-hashes --no-deps -r requirements.lock && pip install --no-deps .   # from source, hash-pinned
+```
+See a [sample report](docs/sample-report.md) (fictional data).
+
+## Usage
+```bash
+pip install -e .
+
+aws-waste-hunter scan --region us-east-1 --profile my-sso-profile
+aws-waste-hunter scan --regions us-east-1,eu-west-1 --format json --output report.json
+aws-waste-hunter scan --all-regions
+aws-waste-hunter scan --region us-east-1 --pricing offline   # no Price List calls
+aws-waste-hunter scan --region us-east-1 --max-metrics 50    # tighter CloudWatch cost cap
+aws-waste-hunter scan --all-regions --concurrency 12         # parallel (default 8, max 16)
+
+# Other accounts: assume a read-only role in each (repeat --role-arn for more accounts)
+aws-waste-hunter scan --all-regions \
+  --role-arn arn:aws:iam::222222222222:role/aws-waste-hunter-scanner \
+  --external-id "$WASTE_HUNTER_EXTERNAL_ID"
+```
+Create the cross-account role with the Terraform module in
+[`terraform/scanner-role`](terraform/scanner-role): trust is limited to the principals you list
+and requires an ExternalId; permissions are exactly [`iam/policy.json`](iam/policy.json).
+Attach [`iam/policy.json`](iam/policy.json) to the role you scan with. Reports are written
+with `0600` permissions because they describe your account.
+
+## Checks
+| ID | Finds |
+|---|---|
+| `ebs-unattached` | EBS volumes not attached to anything |
+| `ebs-gp2-to-gp3` | in-use gp2 volumes that could be gp3 (~20% cheaper) |
+| `eip-unassociated` | Elastic IPs allocated but not associated |
+| `logs-no-retention` | CloudWatch log groups that never expire |
+| `nat-idle` | NAT gateways (older than 7 days) that moved 0 bytes in the last 7 days |
+| `lb-idle` | Application/Network load balancers (older than 7 days) with no traffic in 7 days |
+
+`nat-idle` and `lb-idle` read CloudWatch (`GetMetricData`, billed ~$0.01 per 1,000 metrics).
+Every query is charged against a budget first: `--max-metrics` (default 200 per account and
+region, about $0.002). If the cap is reached the check stops, keeps what it found, and reports
+the error. Their dollar figures use us-east-1 list prices, so treat them as estimates.
+
+A check that fails (for example a missing permission) is listed in the report and the exit
+code is 1. It is never silently skipped.
+
+## Pricing
+Prices come from the AWS Price List API per region, are cached for 24 hours, and fall back to
+an offline us-east-1 list-price table if the lookup fails. Every report states which source
+was used. Live and cached values must be positive and within a sane band of the reference, so
+a bad parse or a tampered cache cannot inflate your numbers. Amounts are estimates, not quotes.
+
+## Security model
+- Read-only guard on every call, plus a CI test that fails on any other operation.
+- Least-privilege IAM policy with no wildcards; every check's required actions are
+  test-verified against it.
+- AWS clients can only be created through one guarded helper (bounded timeouts, bounded
+  retries, validated region); a test fails if any other code creates a raw client.
+- Region names are validated before they reach endpoints or file paths.
+- Resource names and tags are treated as untrusted input when rendering reports.
+- Cross-account scans use short-lived (1h) assumed-role credentials that stay in memory; the
+  only non-read operation allowed through the guard is the exact `sts:AssumeRole`.
+- Standard AWS credential chain / SSO only. Credentials are never stored, logged or sent.
+- GitHub Actions are pinned to commit SHAs.
+
+See [SECURITY.md](SECURITY.md) to report a vulnerability.
+
+---
+
+# Pro (planned)
+
+The open-source scanner finds the mechanical waste. **Pro** is where it becomes a savings
+program. These features are on the roadmap and are **not available yet**; the order below is
+the rough build order.
+
+### Find more, across everything
+- **Org-wide scans.** Cross-account scanning works today with `--role-arn`; Pro adds automatic
+  discovery of every account in your AWS Organization.
+- **More metric-based idle detection.** Idle EC2 and RDS (NAT gateways and load balancers
+  are already in the open-source scanner). The waste that metadata alone can't show, with a hard cost cap
+  so the scan itself never surprises you.
+- **EKS right-sizing.** Requests vs real usage from Datadog or Prometheus, plus the
+  autoscaler blockers that keep nodes alive. The same playbook behind a 70%+ node reduction.
+- **Commitment review.** Savings Plans and Reserved Instance coverage, usually the single
+  biggest lever.
+
+### Fix it safely
+- **Fix-as-code merge requests.** Generates the Terraform or CLI change as a GitLab or
+  GitHub MR for a human to review. It never applies anything itself.

+# aws-waste-hunter
+
+Read-only, auditable AWS waste scanner that tells you **how many dollars** you can save.
+Built by [Helyx IT](https://helyxit.com).
+
+> **Status:** alpha (0.1.0). Parallel multi-region and cross-account scans, live pricing, six checks including metric-based idle detection with a hard cost cap.
+
+## Why this one
+- **It can't change your account.** Every AWS call is `Describe*`, `List*` or `Get*`, enforced
+  three ways: in code, in tests, and in the IAM policy you attach.
+- **It runs on your machine.** No SaaS, no agent, no telemetry. Nothing leaves your account.
+- **You can read all of it.** Small codebase, minimal dependencies, published least-privilege
+  IAM policy.
+- **It speaks dollars.** Every finding has a monthly cost and a savings estimate, priced from
+  the live AWS Price List API.
+
+## Install
+```bash
+pipx install aws-waste-hunter        # after the first PyPI release
+docker build -t aws-waste-hunter . && docker run --rm -v ~/.aws:/home/scanner/.aws:ro \
+  aws-waste-hunter scan --region us-east-1 --profile my-sso-profile
+pip install --require-hashes --no-deps -r requirements.lock && pip install --no-deps .   # from source, hash-pinned
+```
+See a [sample report](docs/sample-report.md) (fictional data).
+
+## Usage
+```bash
+pip install -e .
+
+aws-waste-hunter scan --region us-east-1 --profile my-sso-profile
+aws-waste-hunter scan --regions us-east-1,eu-west-1 --format json --output report.json
+aws-waste-hunter scan --all-regions
+aws-waste-hunter scan --region us-east-1 --pricing offline   # no Price List calls
+aws-waste-hunter scan --region us-east-1 --max-metrics 50    # tighter CloudWatch cost cap
+aws-waste-hunter scan --all-regions --concurrency 12         # parallel (default 8, max 16)
+
+# Other accounts: assume a read-only role in each (repeat --role-arn for more accounts)
+aws-waste-hunter scan --all-regions \
+  --role-arn arn:aws:iam::222222222222:role/aws-waste-hunter-scanner \
+  --external-id "$WASTE_HUNTER_EXTERNAL_ID"
+```
+Create the cross-account role with the Terraform module in
+[`terraform/scanner-role`](terraform/scanner-role): trust is limited to the principals you list
+and requires an ExternalId; permissions are exactly [`iam/policy.json`](iam/policy.json).
+Attach [`iam/policy.json`](iam/policy.json) to the role you scan with. Reports are written
+with `0600` permissions because they describe your account.
+
+## Checks
+| ID | Finds |
+|---|---|
+| `ebs-unattached` | EBS volumes not attached to anything |
+| `ebs-gp2-to-gp3` | in-use gp2 volumes that could be gp3 (~20% cheaper) |
+| `eip-unassociated` | Elastic IPs allocated but not associated |
+| `logs-no-retention` | CloudWatch log groups that never expire |
+| `nat-idle` | NAT gateways (older than 7 days) that moved 0 bytes in the last 7 days |
+| `lb-idle` | Application/Network load balancers (older than 7 days) with no traffic in 7 days |
+
+`nat-idle` and `lb-idle` read CloudWatch (`GetMetricData`, billed ~$0.01 per 1,000 metrics).
+Every query is charged against a budget first: `--max-metrics` (default 200 per account and
+region, about $0.002). If the cap is reached the check stops, keeps what it found, and reports
+the error. Their dollar figures use us-east-1 list prices, so treat them as estimates.
+
+A check that fails (for example a missing permission) is listed in the report and the exit
+code is 1. It is never silently skipped.
+
+## Pricing
+Prices come from the AWS Price List API per region, are cached for 24 hours, and fall back to
+an offline us-east-1 list-price table if the lookup fails. Every report states which source
+was used. Live and cached values must be positive and within a sane band of the reference, so
+a bad parse or a tampered cache cannot inflate your numbers. Amounts are estimates, not quotes.
+
+## Security model
+- Read-only guard on every call, plus a CI test that fails on any other operation.
+- Least-privilege IAM policy with no wildcards; every check's required actions are
+  test-verified against it.
+- AWS clients can only be created through one guarded helper (bounded timeouts, bounded
+  retries, validated region); a test fails if any other code creates a raw client.
+- Region names are validated before they reach endpoints or file paths.
+- Resource names and tags are treated as untrusted input when rendering reports.
+- Cross-account scans use short-lived (1h) assumed-role credentials that stay in memory; the
+  only non-read operation allowed through the guard is the exact `sts:AssumeRole`.
+- Standard AWS credential chain / SSO only. Credentials are never stored, logged or sent.
+- GitHub Actions are pinned to commit SHAs.
+
+See [SECURITY.md](SECURITY.md) to report a vulnerability.

+# Pro (planned)
+
+The open-source scanner finds the mechanical waste. **Pro** is where it becomes a savings
+program. These features are on the roadmap and are **not available yet**; the order below is
+the rough build order.
+
+### Find more, across everything
+- **Org-wide scans.** Cross-account scanning works today with `--role-arn`; Pro adds automatic
+  discovery of every account in your AWS Organization.
+- **More metric-based idle detection.** Idle EC2 and RDS (NAT gateways and load balancers
+  are already in the open-source scanner). The waste that metadata alone can't show, with a hard cost cap
+  so the scan itself never surprises you.
+- **EKS right-sizing.** Requests vs real usage from Datadog or Prometheus, plus the
+  autoscaler blockers that keep nodes alive. The same playbook behind a 70%+ node reduction.
+- **Commitment review.** Savings Plans and Reserved Instance coverage, usually the single
+  biggest lever.
+
+### Fix it safely
+- **Fix-as-code merge requests.** Generates the Terraform or CLI change as a GitLab or
+  GitHub MR for a human to review. It never applies anything itself.
+- **Terraform cost guard.** Estimates the monthly cost of every `terraform plan` and flags
+  expensive patterns before they merge.
+- **Suppressions with expiry.** Accept a finding per resource or tag, with an owner and a
+  review date, kept as policy-as-code in your repo.
+
+### Prove the savings
+- **Trend history and scheduled scans.** Weekly digests to Slack or email and a running total
+  of dollars saved, so the program has numbers behind it.
+- **AI prioritization in your own account.** Ranks findings by effort versus payoff using
+  Bedrock (or a local model). The AI only summarizes: it never detects and never acts, and
+  nothing leaves your account.
+- **Export anywhere.** SARIF, CSV and Jira.
+
+### Don't want to run it yourself?
+Helyx does manual, expert-led AWS reviews with a guaranteed 15% savings, and goes where
+automation can't: architecture, data-transfer design and commitment strategy.
