8-Step Cost Optimization Solution

Optimizing AWS cloud costs requires a holistic approach that goes beyond traditional methods like Reserved Instances, Cost Savings Plans, and Autoscaling. While these are important, they cover only one part of Tgix’s 8-step approach.

Our Cost Optimization Solution offers a more comprehensive strategy to identify the most expensive services or workloads and determine the best cost optimization techniques for immediate savings. Our strategy includes the following components:

1. Architecture: Is your infrastructure & application well-architected and optimized for the AWS cloud (e.g. with serverless options)?
2. Resource Types: Are you making smart choices about using the right resource types & options, and optimizing for your workload and region?
3. Resource Sizing & Scaling: Is your environment over-provisioned? Are you reviewing performance metrics to ensure that the resources are right-sized? Can you take advantage of auto-scaling (or Tgix's autosize utility)?
4. Resource Utilization: Does your workload need to be up 24x7? If not, can you take advantage of Tgix's autostart, autostop and autoterminate utilities to control resource usage, prevent unnecessary spending and only pay for what you need?
5. Software Licensing Optimization: Have you conducted a licensing assessment and reviewed your vendor's licensing strategy against current requirements to explore cost savings?
6. Resource Pricing Strategy: Are you paying On-Demand rates for resources, or taking advantage of the different price options available to you - Reserved Instances, Cost Savings Plans, Spot, Private Pricing?
7. Cost Monitoring: Are you proactively monitoring and managing the environment? Do you have appropriate cost alarms set up to alert you of anomalies and overruns?
8. AWS Partner Alignment: Are you aligned with an AWS Services partner who can provide on-going cost reporting, cost optimizations, recommendations, volume discounts, etc.?

There's more to cost optimization than meets the eye, and Tgix can help you every step of the way.
