Overview
AWS Cost Optimization Assessment by Cloud Wizard
Cloud Wizard Consulting is an AWS Select Tier Consulting Partner and AWS Advanced Training Partner. Our team of AWS-certified consultants - each holding all AWS certifications - delivers a structured assessment designed to help organizations maximize the value of their AWS investment by identifying opportunities to reduce cloud costs without compromising performance, security, or reliability.
Our assessments have identified up to 40% cost reduction for clients. We perform a comprehensive review of your AWS environment, resource utilization, billing data, architecture, and operational practices to uncover inefficiencies, underutilized resources, and optimization opportunities - all aligned with AWS Well-Architected Framework best practices.
Typical Engagement Timeline
Our assessment follows a structured phased approach completed within 2-4 weeks depending on environment complexity:
- Phase 1 - Discovery (Week 1): Kickoff call, access provisioning, stakeholder interviews, and environment scoping.
- Phase 2 - Analysis (Weeks 2-3): Deep-dive into AWS billing data, resource utilization, architecture review, and cost allocation assessment.
- Phase 3 - Recommendations and Delivery (Week 4): Findings presentation, prioritized optimization roadmap, and final report delivery.
What You Will Receive
- Comprehensive AWS cost and usage analysis
- Resource utilization assessment
- Rightsizing recommendations for compute resources
- Reserved Instances and Savings Plans evaluation
- Storage optimization recommendations
- Idle and underutilized resource identification
- Cost allocation and tagging review
- AWS billing and account structure assessment
- Governance and FinOps best practice recommendations
- Prioritized cost optimization roadmap with estimated savings opportunities
Use Case Example
A mid-market SaaS company running 50+ microservices on Amazon ECS experienced rapid cloud growth and lacked visibility into cost drivers across multiple AWS accounts. Through our assessment, we identified rightsizing opportunities across compute instances, recommended a Savings Plans strategy, and uncovered idle resources - resulting in a prioritized roadmap targeting 40% monthly spend reduction.
Scope and Limitations
This assessment covers analysis and recommendations only. Implementation of changes is not included but can be scoped as a follow-on engagement. The standard assessment covers a single AWS Organization. Multi-Organization or multi-region environments with significant complexity may require extended scoping during the discovery phase. The assessment does not include application-level code optimization or third-party SaaS cost analysis.
Data Handling and Security
Cloud Wizard takes data security seriously. All engagement data is transmitted over encrypted channels. We request only the minimum read-only access necessary to perform the assessment. Access credentials are revoked at engagement conclusion, and all client data is securely deleted within 30 days of final report delivery unless otherwise agreed. Non-disclosure agreements are available upon request.
Ideal For
- Organizations with growing AWS monthly spend seeking cost reduction
- Companies implementing FinOps practices for the first time
- Enterprises managing multiple AWS accounts across teams or business units
- SaaS, financial services, healthcare, and technology companies with complex cloud environments
- FinOps leads, VPs of Engineering, and CFOs seeking cloud cost visibility
Deliverables
At the conclusion of the engagement, you will receive a comprehensive cost optimization report containing assessment findings, identified savings opportunities, prioritized recommendations, governance improvements, and an actionable roadmap to help optimize your AWS investment over both the short and long term.
