Cloud cost optimisation

We find out where your cloud budget goes and reduce it (through rightsizing, smarter purchasing and architecture changes) while keeping performance and reliability where they need to be.

What we do

Scope of work

  • Cost audit and quick wins

    A review of your AWS, Azure or Google Cloud bill and usage, with idle, oversized and orphaned resources identified and savings ranked by effort and impact.

  • Cost visibility and allocation

    Tagging standards, cost allocation per team, product and environment, and dashboards that show who spends what and why.

  • Rightsizing and autoscaling

    Matching virtual machines, databases and Kubernetes clusters to real load, with autoscaling and schedules that switch off non-production environments outside working hours.

  • Commitments and pricing models

    Savings plans, reserved instances and committed use discounts sized to your baseline, plus spot capacity for workloads that tolerate interruptions.

  • Architecture and storage optimisation

    Storage tiering and lifecycle policies, lower data transfer costs and moving suitable workloads to serverless or managed services.

  • FinOps processes and guardrails

    Budgets, anomaly alerts, cost estimates in pull requests and a monthly review routine, so savings do not disappear with the next release.
