GCP
Idle Resource Finder
GCP resources sitting idle and costing money — low-CPU VMs, idle SQL, unattached disks.
Live preview — demo data
Same idea on another cloud
What this pane shows
A cross-service search for likely deletion candidates: Compute Engine VMs under 5% CPU for 7+ days, Cloud SQL instances with no client connections, unattached persistent disks. Each row carries the resource, its idle metric and estimated monthly waste.
Key use cases
- Find the largest cost-saving wins for a focused cleanup sprint.
- Audit non-production environments for resources that should be off.
- Build a deletion-candidate list with the dollar amount per row.
- Catch dev / experimental resources that were forgotten about.
How to embed
lp.js is the single-entry loader: it injects the shared LightPane runtime
(and sd-embed.css) once per page. Add this pane's own stylesheet and script;
the pane mounts itself wherever the matching <div> is in the DOM.
<!-- In <head> — this pane's stylesheet -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://lightpane.io/_pane-tests/gcp/idle-finder/idle-finder.css">
<!-- Your access key (inline, or set window.lpEmbed.accessKey from your own JS) -->
<script>window.lpEmbed = { accessKey: "<your-access-key>" };</script>
<!-- Where the pane should appear -->
<div class="lp-gcp-idle-finder-panel" data-lp-account="<your-account-alias>"></div>
<!-- Before </body> — shared loader + this pane's script -->
<script src="https://lightpane.io/embed/lp.js"></script>
<script src="https://lightpane.io/_pane-tests/gcp/idle-finder/idle-finder.js" defer></script>
