AWS Cost Optimization & FinOps Sprint

Reduce your AWS bill by 20–60% while improving performance and reliability.

Overview

We perform a deep analysis of your AWS environment to identify inefficiencies, waste, and architectural improvements that reduce cost while improving performance. Many clients recover the entire consulting investment within the first billing cycle.

What we analyze

• Compute utilization across EC2, ECS, Fargate, and Lambda

• Storage usage, lifecycle policies, and S3 data transfer costs

• Networking costs including NAT Gateway and data transfer

• Database configuration, instance sizes, and connection patterns

• Serverless architecture efficiency and cold start impact

• Idle or unused infrastructure (orphaned EBS volumes, unused EIPs, etc.)

• Savings Plans and Reserved Instance coverage

What we implement

Immediate cost reductions (week 1)

• Rightsizing over-provisioned EC2 and RDS instances

• Removing unused resources (snapshots, volumes, old AMIs)

• S3 lifecycle policies and Intelligent-Tiering migration

• CloudWatch log retention policies

Structural improvements (weeks 2–3)

• Architecture redesign for high-cost patterns

• Autoscaling improvements and scheduled scaling

• Lambda memory optimization (often 30–50% reduction)

• NAT Gateway replacement with VPC endpoints where appropriate

Long-term FinOps program

• Cost allocation tags enforced via SCPs

• Budget alerts with actionable thresholds (not just informational)

• Monthly cost review runbook

• Savings Plans purchase recommendation and implementation

Outcomes

• 20–60% reduction in monthly AWS costs

• Improved infrastructure efficiency

• Clear cost visibility by team, environment, and service

• Sustainable FinOps practices your team can maintain

Timeline

1–3 weeks. Immediate savings visible in the first billing cycle.
