Cost Optimization Program

The consumption-based model in AWS Cloud is a revolutionary pricing structure, and AWS offers some great ways to manage cost. Even with those tools, however, it can often be challenging to prioritize which changes should be performed when. Additionally, understanding the risk of those changes, both to operations as well as to long term spending commitments, requires evaluation and expertise.

Along with identifying areas of excess cloud spend, we actively seek to understand how you are using AWS services and suggest and implement both long and short term solutions to optimize your cost, from right-sizing your environments and implementing appropriate savings plans to offering solutions that leverage cloud-native patterns and services.

The Cost Optimization program includes:

• Expertly leveraging AWS cloud native tools including Cost Explorer and Trusted Advisor, along with Savings Plans and Reservations to ensure optimized resource utilization and ensure proper long-term commitments with AWS to manage spend.
• Reviewing current cloud spend, including native cloud tool recommendations for cost savings and "right-sizing" of workloads.
• Project planning and technical implementation to achieve cost optimization goals while reducing the risk associated with changes to cloud infrastructure.
• Deeply engaging with your teams to ensure that all recommendations and solutions are more than a standard 'boilerplate' solutions, but instead meet your near and long term goals and road map
• Establishing of budget alarms to easily track and respond to critical areas of spend Ongoing, monthly cost review and refinement to ensure cost optimizations persist.
