Cost Optimization & FinOps

AWS cost optimization that actually sticks.

Find the waste fast, then build the practice that keeps it from coming back. We deliver concrete savings with dollar estimates — not another dashboard.

The state of most AWS bills

  • 10–30% of spend is waste — idle, oversized, or orphaned resources
  • No clear owner per dollar — engineering and finance disagree on who's accountable
  • Tagging is partial — chargeback and showback are not possible
  • Savings Plans and RI coverage is ad-hoc — over- or under-committed
  • Surprise bills — anomalies caught after the month closes, not before
  • No monthly review cadence — cost work happens reactively after a leadership ask

What "sticks" means

A one-time sweep finds savings. A practice keeps them. We do both — the audit gets the dollars back this quarter, and the FinOps process keeps the bill flat as the business grows.

No vendor lock-in. The tagging policy, anomaly alerts, and review cadence all live in your AWS account and your tools. We hand it off cleanly.

Concrete deliverables, not advice

Five steps from waste to practice

Step 01

Baseline

CUR analysis, account inventory, and a tagging audit. We build a complete picture of where every dollar goes before recommending anything.

Step 02

Quick Wins

Idle resources, oversized instances, orphaned EBS volumes, unattached EIPs. Findings ranked by dollar value and effort to fix.

Step 03

Commitment Strategy

Savings Plans and RI recommendations with break-even math. We model commitment scenarios against your real usage, not vendor defaults.

Step 04

Guardrails

Tagging policy, anomaly detection, budget alerts, and chargeback model. The infrastructure that catches the next surprise before it lands.

Step 05

Practice Handoff

Monthly review template, FinOps roles, and the cadence to keep it running. We document everything and train the team that owns it next.
