Cloudyn is launching a hosted service on Monday that aims to monitor a company's cloud usage and recommend ways to optimize that usage in order to cut costs. The service is available initially for Amazon Web Services customers, and Cloudyn plans to add support for Rackspace in the second quarter, and other providers after that. The service will be free until May 1, after which customers will have to pay for the optimization recommendations. Anyone can sign up for the service now.
