FinOps & Cloud Cost Optimization

Cut your cloud bill.
Keep your performance.

Right-sizing, savings plans, spot strategies, and spend accountability per team. Typical result: 25–45% off the monthly bill within 60 days — often paying for the engagement in month one.

Where Cloud Bills Explode

💸 Over-Provisioned Instances

m5.2xlarge running at 5% CPU. Databases sized for traffic that never came. You're paying for capacity you don't use.

👻 Zombie Resources

Orphaned EBS volumes, unused Elastic IPs, forgotten test environments. $50 here, $200 there — it adds up.

🚫 No Savings Plans

Running everything on-demand when 70% of your workload is predictable. Missing 30-70% savings from commitments.

🤷 No Accountability

One AWS bill, no idea which team or service costs what. Nobody owns optimization because nobody owns the cost.

Cost Optimization Services

Cost Audit & Analysis

Line-by-line analysis of your cloud bill. We find the waste, quantify the savings, and prioritize by ROI.

  • Full spend breakdown
  • Waste identification
  • Savings opportunity sizing
  • Prioritized optimization roadmap

Right-Sizing

Match instance sizes to actual usage. We analyze metrics, recommend changes, and implement safely.

  • Compute right-sizing (EC2, GCE, Azure VMs)
  • Database right-sizing (RDS, Cloud SQL)
  • Kubernetes resource optimization
  • Graviton/ARM migration (AWS)

Reserved Capacity & Savings Plans

Commit to what you know you'll use. We model your workloads and recommend optimal commitments.

  • Savings Plans analysis (AWS)
  • Reserved Instances strategy
  • Committed Use Discounts (GCP)
  • Azure Reservations

Spot & Preemptible Strategies

70-90% savings for fault-tolerant workloads. We implement spot strategies that don't disrupt your services.

  • Spot instance architecture
  • Karpenter for K8s (AWS)
  • Spot interruption handling
  • Mixed on-demand/spot pools

Tagging & Cost Allocation

Know who spends what. Tagging strategies and dashboards that drive accountability.

  • Tagging policy design
  • Cost allocation setup
  • Team/service dashboards
  • Budget alerts

Ongoing FinOps

Optimization isn't one-time. We provide ongoing reviews to catch drift and find new savings.

  • Monthly cost reviews
  • Anomaly detection
  • New savings opportunity alerts
  • Commitment renewal management

FinOps FAQ

How quickly will we see savings?

Quick wins (zombie cleanup, obvious right-sizing) show up in the next billing cycle. Savings plans take effect immediately after purchase. Full optimization typically 4-8 weeks.

Will right-sizing affect performance?

No. We analyze actual utilization over weeks/months, not just a snapshot. We recommend changes that maintain headroom for peaks. Every change is tested and reversible.

Should we use savings plans or reserved instances?

Savings Plans (AWS) are usually better — more flexible, apply across instance types/regions. Reserved Instances only for specific, unchanging workloads. We model your usage to recommend the optimal mix.

Are spot instances risky?

For the right workloads, no. Stateless services, batch jobs, dev/test environments are ideal. We implement proper interruption handling and mixed instance strategies. Never for databases or stateful services.

Do you work on commission?

No. We charge fixed project fees or hourly rates. No percentage of savings, no conflict of interest. Our goal is to optimize, not maximize our cut.
