CloudKeeper Launches 30-Day Challenge to Help Businesses Slash AWS Costs
CloudKeeper's Cloud Fitness Challenge dares AWS users for a 30-day cloud optimization exercise, unlocking hidden savings of up to 10% savings even in 'fully optimized' setups. This gamified experience delivers automated scans, expert insights, a personalized Cloud Fitness Score, and milestone-based Courtesy of CloudKeeper NEW YORK, May 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CloudKeeper, a leading provider of cloud cost optimization solutions, has announced the launch of its 30-Day Cloud Fitness Challenge, which dares organizations to uncover at least 10% more cloud savings than they thought possible, even in environments they believe are already optimized. This is a challenge to every AWS team confident they've already done enough cost optimization. After analyzing over 2,000 AWS accounts, CloudKeeper found that 97% of teams were still missing critical savings opportunities—some as high as six figures. Even the most meticulous teams were leaving an average of 23% in savings on the table. Through this 30-day, expert-guided journey, CloudKeeper invites AWS users to take the Cloud Fitness Test and prove just how lean, efficient, and cost-smart their cloud can be. Participating organizations undergo a comprehensive evaluation of their AWS environments, culminating in a tailored action plan designed to optimize resource utilization, minimize unnecessary expenditures, and boost overall performance. Central to this initiative is CloudKeeper Tuner, an industry-first AWS usage optimization platform recently launched by CloudKeeper. This innovative solution underpins the challenge by delivering automated scans, detailed usage analytics, and actionable recommendations across over 50 AWS services. 'We've worked with 400+ businesses in the past 15 years, and a majority of them had almost a quarter of cloud savings untouched. Sometimes, even the best of the teams need a fresh pair of eyes to uncover what's missing and this challenge is our way of helping them, while keeping it fun and engaging,' said CloudKeeper's CEO Deepak Mittal. "Think your AWS setup is fully optimized? There's one way to find out—take up the challenge." Inspired by intensive fitness programs, the Cloud Fitness Challenge enables daily usage and savings recommendations, dynamic instance management, automated scheduling and expert support, helping teams build everyday cloud discipline. The Challenge follows a structured three-step journey, beginning with secure AWS account integration using read-only IAM roles to ensure complete data privacy. Participants then receive a personalized Cloud Fitness Score—generated through automated scans that reveal usage patterns, inefficiencies, and untapped savings opportunities. With these insights, teams apply tailored optimization strategies guided by CloudKeeper's experts, turning recommendations into measurable cost reductions and performance gains. CloudKeeper emphasizes that this challenge isn't about questioning capabilities—but about pushing the boundaries of what's possible in cloud optimization. The program incentivizes progress through milestone-based rewards, recognizing achievements in resource optimization and savings realization while maintaining a gamified, engaging experience throughout the 30-day journey. The challenge is open to all organizations operating active AWS environments.

Chandigarh Police's plan to shift drug peddlers to Assam jail put on hold
In a temporary setback to a crackdown on narcotics, Chandigarh Police's plan to relocate two habitual drug offenders to Dibrugarh Central Jail in Assam under the Prevention of Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (PITNDPS) Act has been halted due to a reported shortage of space at the facility. The move involved relocating 64-year-old Bala from Sector 38-A, and Deepak Mittal, alias Vicky. Both have a long history of being involved in drug trafficking. The police had secured necessary approvals from the Union ministry of finance's SAFEMA (Smugglers and Foreign Exchange Manipulators Act) division to detain the duo under the PITNDPS Act. However, officials confirmed on Thursday that Dibrugarh Central Jail, the designated facility for high-risk detainees in such cases, had communicated its current inability to accommodate the two prisoners due to a lack of capacity. 'The transfer has been put on hold for now due to administrative reasons at the Assam end. We are exploring alternatives in coordination with central authorities,' a senior police officer said. Chandigarh Police had strategically chosen Dibrugarh Central Jail to sever the accused's links with their local drug networks and curb the repeated cycles of drug supply and bail. Bala and Deepak are among the most active and persistent peddlers in the city, despite multiple arrests and convictions, police said. Until further arrangements are made, both will remain lodged in Burail jail, Chandigarh.

Chandigarh Police sends two drug peddlers to Assam jail
The Chandigarh Police's ANTF (Anti-Narcotics Task Force) has secured the preventive detention of two alleged habitual drug offenders — Bala and Deepak Mittal, alias Vicky, under the PITNDPS Act. Both individuals are now set to be lodged in Central Jail, Dibrugarh, Assam, police said. According to the police, the approval was granted by the Union Ministry of Finance, Department of Revenue (PITNDPS unit), on May 2. As per police records, Bala, a 60-year-old resident of Sector 38-A, Chandigarh, is a known repeat offender with a criminal history spanning over 36 cases, including 10 under the NDPS Act. She operated her drug supply network from within her house, using minors and neighbours as couriers. Despite multiple convictions — including a 10-year rigorous imprisonment in 2015 — she continued her illegal activities. Similarly, Deepak Mittal, alias Vicky of Sector 45-C, Chandigarh, has been a prominent figure in heroin trafficking in the city. With multiple convictions and ongoing investigations, he remains a significant threat to public health and safety. This move aims to sever their local criminal networks and prevent further influence on their operations within Chandigarh, police said.

Chandigarh:Two habitual peddlers to be jailed in Assam to break local drug nexus
In an unprecedented move aimed at dismantling local drug networks, the Chandigarh Police are sending two of the city's most notorious drug peddlers, including a 64-year-old woman named Bala, to Dibrugarh Central Jail in Assam. 64-year-old Bala has 36 cases against her, including 10 under the NDPS Act and several for theft, rioting and culpable homicide. However, 47% of the cases registered against her have resulted in acquittals. (HT) Habitual offenders Bala, a resident of Sector 38-A, a hotbed of drug trafficking, and Deepak Mittal, alias Vicky, have been detained under the Prevention of Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (PITNDPS) Act. Both have repeatedly returned to drug trafficking despite multiple arrests and convictions, according to police. Police said the relocation was a strategic measure to break their local supply chains by lodging them far away from Chandigarh. The duo will be lodged in Assam for at least one year. The detention proposal was submitted under the PITNDPS Act by Chandigarh Police and approved by the Union ministry of finance's SAFEMA (Smugglers and Foreign Exchange Manipulators Act) unit. SP Crime Jasbir Singh said they were detained on Tuesday evening after receiving the approval and will be sent to Dibrugarh jail on Wednesday. A police official said the step was part of adopting a comprehensive approach of opening all fronts simultaneously in the fight against drug menace—financial investigation, seizure of property, preventive detention under PITNDPS, deciphering forward and backward linkages, and adopting top to bottom and bottom to top strategy in making the city drug-free. Bala has 36 cases against her, including 10 under the NDPS Act and several for theft, rioting and culpable homicide. However, 47% of the cases registered against her have resulted in acquittals. She has been active since 1992 and was convicted in 2015 in a drug case, but secured bail. Despite high-profile arrests, including the seizure of ₹ 5 lakh drug money and heroin from her home last year, she allegedly continues to sell drugs from inside her residence using children and neighbours as couriers. Mittal, too, is a seasoned heroin smuggler, who has been convicted in two cases and undergone sentences, yet has shown no signs of reform. He reportedly peddles heroin across Chandigarh, Panchkula and Mohali, and resumes operations each time he is released from jail.
