CK Tuner Extension

The CloudKeeper Tuner Extension is a powerful browser extension that integrates directly into the AWS Console. It is a key feature that allows users to view and act on Tuner-generated recommendations without leaving their AWS environment, eliminating the need to switch between multiple platforms.

A Seamless Experience in the AWS Console​

One of the standout features of Tuner is the CK Tuner Extension. Once installed, it enhances your AWS Console with:

  • An integrated dashboard on the homepage: See your potential savings, savings achieved, and a summary of recommendations as soon as you log in to AWS.
  • Resource-specific recommendations: When viewing a specific resource in the AWS Console (like an EC2 instance), the extension will show you any relevant Tuner recommendations for that particular resource. This contextual insight is extremely powerful for making quick decisions.
  • Quick access to the full Tuner platform: A single click on the extension banner expands the full Tuner dashboard within the AWS console, giving you access to Cleaner, Over-Provisioned, and Modernization recommendations without changing tabs.
