Welcome
Varcio FinOps Copilot is a closed-loop cloud cost operations platform — it finds waste, prices it, routes it through approval, fixes it, and proves the money was saved.
What Varcio FinOps Copilot is
Varcio FinOps Copilot is a cloud cost operations platform. It connects to your cloud providers, continuously ingests spend and inventory data, detects waste and risk across your estate, turns each detection into a costed and prioritised opportunity, routes that opportunity through governance, and — where you authorise it — executes the fix and verifies that the money was actually saved.
The distinguishing idea: it is a closed loop, not a dashboard
Most cost tooling stops at the report. It tells you money is being wasted and leaves the remediation to a human with a console and a spreadsheet. Varcio carries the same finding all the way through approval → execution → rollback safety → verified savings, and keeps an immutable audit record of the whole journey.
The loop, in one picture
Every module in this documentation sits at a specific point on that loop. Knowing where a module sits explains most of its behaviour — so if a page ever feels abstract, come back to this diagram.
The problem it solves
Cloud spend is one of the largest and least controlled line items in a modern engineering budget, and the tooling around it is structurally fragmented:
Finance is always late
The invoice arrives weeks after the overspend happened. By then the money is gone and nobody remembers what changed.
Engineering is scattered
Work spans several provider consoles and a drawer of homegrown scripts. No single view of the estate.
Platform teams cannot prevent
There is no mechanism to enforce cost discipline before infrastructure ships — only cleanup afterwards.
Leadership cannot decide
Reports disagree with each other and cannot answer why spend moved or what to do next.
Varcio addresses all four constituencies from one control plane, with one data model, one permission model, and one audit trail.
Two things worth knowing up front
Apex — ask in plain English
A natural-language control plane wired into 103 real platform capabilities. Not a chatbot bolted onto a dashboard — every write it performs passes the same permission and approval checks as the UI.
Identified vs. realised savings
Every vendor can quote 'identified savings'. Varcio verifies the fix against your next billing cycle and reports what was actually realised — the number a CFO will accept.
Where to go next
Getting Started
Connect your first cloud account and get to your first verified saving.
Platform Foundations
The vocabulary, the lifecycle, the permission model, and the plans. Read this before the module reference.
Module Reference
Every module in the product — what it is, how it works, how to use it, and what it is worth.
Reference
Module index, detector catalogue, permission catalogue, and glossary.
A note on reading order
The module reference assumes you have read The Platform. Concepts like workspace, finding, opportunity, and remediation class are defined there and used everywhere else without re-explanation.
