Overview
MickAi is an AWS cost optimization agent built on Amazon Bedrock that deploys as a containerized service inside your own VPC via Amazon ECS or EKS. Your billing data and infrastructure details never leave your AWS account.
Why MickAi Over SaaS Cost Tools
Traditional cost optimization platforms like CloudHealth require exporting Cost Explorer data, CloudWatch metrics, and resource configurations to third-party environments. This creates delayed batch exports, data egress costs, and external credential exposure.
MickAi takes a fundamentally different approach: it queries your AWS APIs directly inside your account boundary, delivering real-time analysis with zero data leaving your environment. This eliminates third party data sharing risks and satisfies strict data residency requirements without additional security reviews.
Key Capabilities
AWS Cost Analysis: Deep service level cost breakdown with anomaly detection and month over month trend analysis across EC2, RDS, S3, Lambda, and NAT Gateways.
Idle Resource Detection: CloudWatch backed detection of underutilized instances, unattached Elastic IPs, and idle resources with estimated monthly savings and remediation steps. Deployments typically surface 15 to 40% in actionable cost reduction opportunities on first scan.
Reserved Instance and Savings Plan Advisor: Analyzes 60days of usage patterns to recommend optimalRI and Savings Plan commitments with projected ROI and payback period. Supports one click remediation playbooks for identified savings opportunities.
AI-Powered Natural Language Interface: Powered by Amazon Bedrock (Claude), ask questions about your AWS costs in plain English and get actionable answers instantly, no dashboard navigation required.
Security and Encryption: MickAi is designed with enterprise security requirements in mind.
In transit: TLS 1.2+ encryption via ACM certificate on ALB At rest: AES256 encryption for RDS storage and S3 server side encryption Secrets management: All credentials stored in AWS Secrets Manager Access model: Read only IAM role with least privilege permissions SOC 2: Certification currently in progress
No data leaves your AWS account boundary at any point during analysis.
Example Use Case
A SaaS engineering team running 50+ EC2

MickAi Container: ECS / EKS
- Amazon ECS
- Amazon EKS
Container image
Containers are lightweight, portable execution environments that wrap server application software in a filesystem that includes everything it needs to run. Container applications run on supported container runtimes and orchestration services, such as Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) or Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS). Both eliminate the need for you to install and operate your own container orchestration software by managing and scheduling containers on a scalable cluster of virtual machines.
Version release notes
Initial release of MickAi. AI powered AWS cost analysis via Amazon Bedrock, idle resource detection across EC2/RDS/S3/Lambda, Reserved Instance and Savings Plans recommendations, and 12-month spend forecasting. All OS-level CVEs resolved including CVE-2026-34182 (OpenSSL).

Usage instructions
PREREQUISITES An AWS account with Amazon Bedrock enabled in us-east-1 Amazon RDS (PostgreSQL 14+) and Amazon ElastiCache (Redis 6+) An ECS Fargate cluster or EKS cluster
STEP 1: Deploy the IAM analysis role Download and deploy the CloudFormation template from: https://nimickcompany.com/docs
This creates a read-only IAM role (MickAiAnalysisRole) that MickAi uses to read your Cost Explorer, CloudWatch, and resource APIs. No write permissions are granted.
STEP 2: Set required environment variables The container requires the following environment variables at runtime:
DATABASE_URL: postgresql://user:pass@host:5432/mickai?sslmode=verify-full&sslrootcert=/app/rds-ca.pem REDIS_URL: redis://your-elasticache-endpoint:6379/0 AWS_REGION: us-east-1 MICKAI_ANALYSIS_ROLE_ARN: arn:aws:iam::YOUR_ACCOUNT:role/MickAiAnalysisRole JWT_SECRET: (random 32+ character string) BEDROCK_MODEL_ID: anthropic.claude-sonnet-4-6
STEP 3: Run the container Pull and run the image on port 8080:
docker run -p 8080:8080 --env-file .env
709825985650.dkr.ecr.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/mickai/mickai-core:1.0.2
Or deploy via ECS Fargate using the provided CloudFormation template at: https://nimickcompany.com/docs
STEP 4: Verify deployment Health check endpoint: GET https://your-domain/healthz Expected response: {"status":"ok","service":"mickai-core"}
STEP 5: Authenticate API requests All API requests require the x-mickai-api-key header. Your API key is shown on the fulfillment page immediately after subscribing.
