Cut Your AWS Bill
by 40%+
We find the waste other tools miss - over-provisioned instances, forgotten resources, missed commitment discounts - and eliminate it. Fixed-fee engagement, documented savings roadmap, results in 30 days.
How We Reduce Your AWS Bill
Six optimisation levers, applied in priority order.
Right-sizing
Identify over-provisioned EC2, RDS, and Lambda resources and resize to optimal instance families without performance impact.
Reserved Instances & Savings Plans
Convert on-demand spend to 1-year or 3-year commitments where the usage pattern supports it - typically 40–72% discount.
Idle Resource Cleanup
Find and eliminate idle load balancers, unattached EBS volumes, old snapshots, and zombie EC2 instances.
Spot Instance Migration
Move fault-tolerant workloads (data pipelines, batch jobs, dev/test) to Spot Instances - up to 90% cheaper.
Storage Optimisation
Implement S3 Intelligent-Tiering, Glacier transitions, and EBS gp2→gp3 upgrades across your estate.
FinOps Governance
Tag policies, Cost Allocation Tags, AWS Budgets alerts, and a monthly review cadence to prevent bill creep.
Common Questions
How much can you actually reduce my AWS bill?
Our median reduction is 38%. Clients with large on-demand EC2 fleets typically save 45–55%. We provide a documented savings estimate before you commit.
How long does the AWS cost audit take?
We deliver an initial findings report within 5 business days of read-only access to Cost Explorer and Trusted Advisor. Quick-win implementation takes 2–4 additional weeks.
Do I need to take downtime for the optimisations?
Most optimisations - rightsizing, RI/SP purchases, storage tiering - require no downtime. Instance type changes are scheduled during maintenance windows.
What AWS accounts and services do you cover?
We work across all AWS commercial regions, all account types (standalone, Organisation member accounts), and all major services: EC2, RDS, S3, Lambda, EKS, ECS, ElastiCache, and more.
What is your fee structure?
Fixed-fee engagement starting from $4,500 for the initial audit and quick-win implementation. Ongoing FinOps retainer available from $1,500/month. No percentage-of-savings model - your savings are yours.
