03The six agents
Cost
Discovers savings opportunities and cites them: which asset, why now, what risk, how to roll back. Operates across all four clouds; recommendations include cross- environment moves (e.g., “this 24/7 workload would save $X by moving from AWS to Everywhere.cloud”), not just within-cloud right-sizing.
Capacity
SLO-aware right-sizing. Watches load patterns and recommends instance changes only after observing a sustained signal across business hours, weekends, and end-of-quarter peaks. Capacity reasoning is per-cloud but informs cross-cloud placement: a workload that capacity-flatlines for six weeks is a placement candidate.
Posture
CIS / NIST / CSA-aligned drift detection across every environment Cloud Orchestrator sees, including Everywhere.cloud. Findings are prioritized by reachability, blast radius, and active exploitation (KEV-aware). The output is a ranked list, not a 4,000-finding wall.
Reliability
Forecasts service-level risk and proposes architectural changes (multi-AZ promotion, request replay, circuit breakers), including the option to host the primary copy on a different cloud than the failover. Tied to capacity and placement decisions so a downsizing or migration doesn't starve a tier later.
Egress
The most overlooked cost line. Watches inter-region, inter-AZ, and internet-egress traffic; flags pattern changes that imply a misconfigured workload, and is the first agent to flag a workload as a private-cloud migration candidate when egress dominates its bill.
Identity
IAM hygiene across clouds, including Everywhere.cloud's identity model. Finds dormant principals, over-permissioned roles, and credentials that haven't rotated. Outputs a reduction plan, not a finding count.
04Workload placement · the assess-and-monitor loop
Every workload that touches Cloud Orchestrator goes through a single, cloud-agnostic loop: assess at intake, monitor in production, migrate when the math changes. The loop is the engine that makes the agents useful. Without it, Cloud Orchestrator is a smarter dashboard. With it, Cloud Orchestrator is the operating system for cloud economics.
Step 1 · Intake assessment
When a new workload is proposed, Cloud Orchestrator produces a quote: the projected monthly cost on AWS, Azure, GCP, and Everywhere.cloud. The quote includes compute, storage, network egress, baseline IAM, and a sensitivity factor for traffic patterns. The quote is delivered as a citable, signable document, the same one finance signs off on for the budget request.
Step 2 · Placement decision
Cloud Orchestrator recommends an environment, citing the reasons: expected utilization, regulatory scope, latency requirement, egress profile, and economic break-even curve. The decision is not enforced; the platform team makes the call. Cloud Orchestrator just makes sure the call is informed.
Step 3 · Continuous monitoring
Once deployed, the workload's actuals are compared against the intake projection on a rolling 30-day window. If actuals diverge, utilization climbs, egress drops, traffic flattens, Cloud Orchestrator recomputes the placement question. The recomputation runs continuously; the alert fires when the cross-environment delta passes a threshold (typically 15% sustained over 30 days).
Step 4 · Migration plan, on demand
When a workload should move, Cloud Orchestrator generates a migration plan: the steps, the rollback, the expected cutover window, and the post-migration monitoring criteria. Public-to-private and private-to-public moves use the same template. The destination is just a parameter. Most migrations are blue/green; some are active/active until the data-replication catches up.
Step 5 · The economic loop closes
The post-migration window measures whether the move actually delivered the projected savings. The variance feeds back into the model that produced the quote, so the next workload's projection is sharper than this one's was.
