Compare a savings estimate with a risk finding

Two findings, different decisions. A monetary estimate and a risk condition need different kinds of review.

Financial optimization · LOW severity

Commitment coverage gap

Steady synthetic VM spend is large enough to review committed-use coverage before buying more on-demand compute.

Estimated monthly impact: $777
Financial basis: Included in the savings total as estimated_savings.
Still unavailable: Existing private pricing and commitments; Hourly utilization stability

Security posture · HIGH severity

Broad inbound management access

A synthetic network rule allows public inbound access to a sensitive management port. It is a HIGH risk signal, not a savings claim.

Monetary impact: $0
Financial classification: Security posture findings are risk signals and are never counted as monetary savings.
Evidence caveat: Whether downstream virtual machine firewalls, OS-level packet filters, or secondary subnet-level NSGs intercept or block this traffic.; The associated VM might be stopped, not listening on these ports, or protected by an upstream NVA firewall.

Your team reviews the evidence and implements any approved change in its own environment. Dedicated sources are required to verify the outcome.
