Cloud Halo

Overview

Cloud Halo is an Azure-native FinOps platform designed to provide comprehensive cost visibility, proactive alerts, and actionable optimization recommendations. The platform connects to Azure environments in a read-only mode, allowing users to monitor all spend, forecast future costs, and implement savings strategies. It automates client cost reports, anomaly detection, and savings ledgers for MSPs and internal teams. By replacing manual spreadsheets with unified workspaces, it streamlines cloud financial management.

Founder story

Cloud Halo was founded in 2026 by Artem Fedorovich to solve the tedious manual spreadsheet compilation required for monthly Azure client billing. Recognizing that traditional tools charge a percentage of cloud spend or fail to fit MSP workflows, the team built a flat-priced, automated FinOps platform tailored for Azure consultancies.

What it does

• - Connects to Azure environments via read-only reader permissions at the subscription scope for secure data onboarding
• - Organizes multi-client environments into separate workspaces with tailored portfolio views, forecasts, and margin trackers
• - Routes budget thresholds and anomaly spikes instantly to appropriate delivery, account, or client teams
• - Generates one-click white-label monthly financial reports and tracks resolved savings items using a dedicated ledger.

Who it's for

• Managed Service Providers (MSPs)
• Azure Consultancies
• Finance Leaders
• Cloud Engineering Teams

Why it works

• Flat monthly pricing model avoids percentage-of-spend penalties that tax client growth
• Read-only permission architecture ensures zero operational interference with client tenants
• Automates repetitive monthly manual reporting workflows for service providers
• Delivers factual, actionable waste insights rather than ambiguous cost alarms.

Growth strategies

• Product Hunt launch targeting cloud engineers and MSP founders
