Cloud Cost Optimization
Cloud bills grow faster than usage. We conduct thorough cloud cost audits, eliminate waste, rightsize over-provisioned resources, and implement commitment discounts, typically reducing cloud spend by 20–40% without impacting performance.
// Key benefits
What makes this service valuable
Waste identification
Idle resources, orphaned volumes, over-provisioned instances, and underutilised Reserved Instances are quantified and eliminated or right-sized.
Commitment discount strategy
Reserved Instances (AWS) and Committed Use Discounts (GCP) reduce compute costs by 40–72% for stable workloads. We design the right commitment portfolio based on your usage patterns.
Ongoing cost governance
Cost budgets, anomaly detection, and monthly cost reviews prevent future waste accumulation and maintain cost efficiency as your infrastructure evolves.

Spending less without running less
Cloud cost optimisation is an engineering discipline, not just a commercial negotiation. Technical changes, instance rightsizing, storage tiering, data transfer optimisation, and architecture changes, deliver the largest savings.
We approach cost optimisation with a priority order: eliminate waste, rightsize, commit, and architect. The first two steps deliver immediate savings; the last two require planning but deliver larger long-term reductions.
// What this includes
- Cloud cost audit across all services
- Idle and orphaned resource identification
- Instance rightsizing analysis
- Reserved Instance / CUD commitment planning
- Storage tiering and lifecycle policies
- Data transfer cost optimisation
- Cost budget and anomaly detection setup

// In practice
How cloud cost optimization engagements run
AWS Cost Explorer, Trusted Advisor, and Compute Optimizer findings drive right-sizing — often idle RDS instances and unattached EBS volumes first. Reserved Instances or Savings Plans modelled against 90-day utilisation; S3 lifecycle rules tier cold data to Glacier. FinOps dashboards show cost per environment; savings targets are set from your baseline bill, not generic percentages.

// FAQ
Common questions about cloud cost optimization
How much can you typically reduce cloud spend?+
20–40% is typical for organisations that have not previously optimised. Waste elimination alone typically saves 10–20%. Reserved Instance commitments add another 15–25% for stable compute. Architecture changes (spot instances, serverless migration) can add further savings.
