Supported recommendations

This page lists every recommendation type nOps can show on the Recommendations page. A recommendation appears for your account only when your billing and usage data show the opportunity, so you will usually see a subset of this list. The Source column tells you where a finding comes from:

Source	What it means
nOps	Detected by nOps from your billing data, usage data, and public list prices.
AWS Compute Optimizer	A finding from AWS Compute Optimizer and Cost Optimization Hub, imported and refreshed daily.
Azure Advisor	A cost recommendation from Azure Advisor, imported and refreshed daily.

Effort levels are explained in Effort levels.

FAQs

Why don't I see every recommendation on this page?

A recommendation only appears when your data shows the opportunity. For example, Kinesis recommendations need on-demand streams that run steadily, and Azure Hybrid Benefit recommendations need pay-as-you-go Windows or SQL licensing on your bill.

How often are recommendations refreshed?

Daily. Each refresh re-evaluates your latest billing and usage data, so a recommendation disappears once the opportunity is gone.
