# Does Archera Help with Underutilized Infrastructure & Right-Sizing?

Due to Archera's security philosophy we never install an agent or take permissions to automate any infrastructure changes that could impact your application (like scheduling on spot, managing scaling policies for Kubernetes or turning off machines & deleting orphaned resources). This limits the amount of automated action we can take on your engineer's behalf.

However Archera does highlight orphaned/unused resources & surface right-sizing recommendations to engineering teams, in line with AWS, Azure & Google Cloud best practices, via an out of the box integration with services like AWS Compute Optimizer. Additionally Archera's [scenario planner](https://app.archera.ai/scenarios) can help engineering teams model the impact of potential infrastructure optimizations alongside commitment & migration options, to prioritize action.

For customers who want to go even deeper with automating these infrastructure & application impacting changes, Archera integrates with a number of automated right-sizing & infrastructure management tools.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.archera.ai/help-center/faq/underutilized-rightsizing.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
