AWS Cost Optimization
Reduce AWS costs while maximizing efficiency
Common cost challenges faced by AWS users
Unused/underutilized resources
A server for a quick test, a storage volume for a project that wrapped up months ago. These things get forgotten, but AWS never forgets to bill you for them. Over time, these "zombie" resources add up to a major expense. Our service hunts down this waste so you can eliminate it, providing an immediate saving opportunity and a fast win.
Overprovisioned instances
It’s easy to pick a server that's way more powerful than you need. But that "safe" choice means you're paying a premium for capacity that just sits idle. We dive into your actual performance data to perfectly match your resources to your real needs. This simple change can lead to massive savings with zero impact on your application's speed.
Missing Reserved Instances/Savings Plans strategy
AWS gives you a huge discount if you commit to them long-term through Reserved Instances and Savings Plans. You can slash your server costs by up to 72% with the right commitment. However, managing them takes careful planning. We help you build a smart purchasing agreement that gets you the biggest discount without a risky lock-in, a core part of any good AWS cost optimization service.
Inefficient storage choices
Amazon offers a buffet of storage options, each with different pricing. Many companies just dump all their data into the most expensive, high-speed tier out of habit. We help you implement smart rules that automatically move your data to the most cost-effective tier, a key tactic for cost optimization in AWS.
Lack of cost monitoring and forecasting
Are you constantly surprised by your AWS bill? Flying blind is a huge barrier to effective management. Without the right reporting tool, it’s impossible to track costs, see which teams are spending what, or predict next month's bill. We set up clear dashboards and alerts that give you a real-time view of your spend and help you budget accurately, putting you back in the driver's seat.
Surprise data transfer costs
Data transfer fees can be a nasty surprise. These charges, especially for moving data out of the AWS network, are confusing and can add up fast. A simple design flaw in an application can lead to a flood of expensive data transfers. We analyze how your data moves and find ways to make it more efficient, cutting down on these hidden fees and improving your AWS cloud cost optimization.
