What's new in CloudFix: November 2026

Four weeks of releases landed since our last update: smarter Spot allocation, new finders for EKS and ElastiCache, and more control over when fixes run.

Smarter Spot allocation for EC2 and EMR#

EC2 Spot Allocation recommendations now price only the better availability zones and tell you exactly which strategy to switch to, instead of a generic suggestion. EC2 Fleet Spot Zone Expansion finds opportunities to widen your EC2 Fleet and Spot Fleet availability zone coverage for more savings, and EMR clusters now get the same Spot allocation analysis so more of your compute can move off On-Demand pricing.

New finders for EKS and ElastiCache#

CloudFix now finds empty EKS control planes you can safely remove and idle ElastiCache Serverless caches that are costing you money for nothing. Five more savings finders have also moved out of preview and are now fully live, adding more opportunities to your recommendations.

More control over when and how fixes run#

Maintenance windows now gate every automatic fix, so fixes only run during the time windows you approve. CloudFix also checks your account permissions before suggesting a fix, which cuts down on false positives when you don’t have the access a fix would need. And fixer and finder runs that wait on AWS to finish an action now time out properly instead of hanging, so jobs complete faster.

Everything above is live now. Some of the new finders need permissions that come with the latest CloudFix stack, so if your stack is behind, update it to pick them up. The new checks then run as part of your next scan.
