General
Core overview of the WasteRadar FinOps platform and target audience.
WasteRadar is an Azure cloud cost optimization and idle waste detection SaaS product developed by Odinext. It audits disks, VMs, public IPs, and snapshots to pinpoint unneeded cloud spend safely without mutating production resources.
Azure Access & Permissions
Our strict read-only security contract and zero-mutation guarantee.
WasteRadar requires only standard read-only IAM roles: 'Reader' (for inventory and Resource Graph inspection) and 'Cost Management Reader' (for month-to-date actual spend queries). We never request or accept Contributor, Owner, or write permissions.
Cost & Waste Detection
How deterministic waste heuristics and verified savings are calculated.
Security, AI & Data Privacy
Encryption, tenant isolation, and Azure OpenAI security architecture.
Plans, Pricing & Quotas
Transparent pricing tiers, billing cycles, and feature allowances.
