Multi-level policies to control where, when, how and who can launch in cloud for your organisation.
- Hours of Operation Policy
decide on the time that the workload is running - Provider Policy
choose to limit specific cloud providers - Region Policy

Optimise your cloud spend
Determining the hours of operation can greatly reduce your spend in cloud. Many services such as development environments only need to be accessible from 7am to 7pm, Monday thru Friday. By shutting down these services outside defined hours of operation you could save up to 60% off your cloud bill.
- Choose which workloads can be shut down at certain times
- Ensure workloads are started and stopped gracefully
- Don't waste cloud spend on dormant workloads
- Restart workloads at any time if they are needed unexpectedly
