Parsivex scans your AWS account for wasted spend — idle EC2 instances, orphaned volumes, oversized resources, and more — then shows you how much you could save each month.
What you can do with Parsivex
Parsivex connects to your AWS account through a read-only IAM role. It never modifies, creates, or deletes resources. After you connect, Parsivex inventories your resources, checks them for waste, and produces a savings report you can act on.
Parsivex only needs read permissions. See our security page for the exact IAM policy.
Run your first scan
Follow these steps to go from signup to your first savings report:
Create your account
Sign up at parsivex.com and complete the onboarding wizard at app.parsivex.com. You will need your AWS account ID handy.
Connect AWS
Create a cross-account IAM role with the External ID Parsivex provides. Paste the role ARN into the onboarding form.
Start a scan
Once verification succeeds, start your first scan from the dashboard at app.parsivex.com. Most scans complete in a few minutes.

Example CLI command
If you use the AWS CLI to verify your role, try:
aws sts assume-role \
--role-arn arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/ParsivexReadOnly \
--role-session-name parsivex-verify
Always review CLI commands in your own terminal context. Parsivex remediation scripts are separate from this verification step.
