AWS Cost Optimization

Overview

Whether you are running a new startup, a medium-size company or a massive enterprise, investing in cost optimization ensures real and long-term results. 10Pearls offers a comprehensive AWS Cost Optimization Assessment using proven, comprehensive strategies. This includes identifying idle resources in your accounts, selecting the right instance and storage solutions to save money and ensure availability, leveraging containers such as ECS, EKS/RIs for AWS EC2, RDS, Elasticache and OpenSearch, and tuning your architecture for the most efficient use of cloud-native services. Handling all these technical, minute yet critical details allow organizations to focus on their growth and innovation, instead of stressing over cloud costs.

10Pearls Cost Optimization Projects are delivered by our dynamic Engineering Team, with deep knowledge and expertise of databases and AWS services. Our work includes building and executing solutions spanning cloud foundations, DevOps automation, security, and data.
