The popularity of cloud service providers like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and Alibaba Cloud has exploded because they enable easy and rapid access to computing services with no upfront costs.

But hundreds of thousands of cloud customers are now realizing a downside to this ease of use: Cloud computing resources are “always on” unless customers specifically turn them off. Which means customers are paying for computing time they don’t actually use—for example, between 7:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. and on weekends.

ParkMyCloud is an easy-to-use platform designed to solve this problem by scheduling on/off times (also known as “parking”) for your idle cloud computing resources, so you pay only for the resources you’re using.
