AWS Cost Optimization
Most companies overpay for AWS without knowing it. Unused resources, wrong-sized instances, no Reserved Instances. We'll find the waste and implement optimization. On average we save clients 30-40% of monthly cloud costs.

€15,000 Monthly for Unused Resources
A SaaS startup with €35,000/month AWS bill. After audit it turned out:
- €11,000 - test instances forgotten by developers
- €3,500 - oversized databases (8x too much CPU)
- €5,000 - old snapshots and unused volumes
- €6,000 - no Reserved Instances for stable workloads
Without AWS cost optimization:
- Overpaying 30-50% for unused resources
- Cloud costs growing faster than business
- No transparency - you don’t know what you’re paying for
- Unable to predict future costs
We Find Waste and Implement Savings
We conduct detailed audit of your AWS and identify every dollar of waste. We don’t leave you with a report - we support implementation of optimizations.
What you get:
- AWS cost audit for last 3-6 months with trend analysis
- Waste identification - unused, oversized, zombie resources
- Rightsizing recommendations for EC2, RDS and other resources
- Reserved Instances and Savings Plans opportunities analysis
- Implementation plan in 3 phases: quick wins (48h), short-term (2 weeks), long-term (1-3 months)
- Support during optimization implementation
- Monthly cost monitoring and anomaly alerts
Who Is It For?
This service is for you if:
- AWS bills are growing faster than revenue
- You don’t know exactly what you’re paying for in AWS
- You suspect you’re overpaying but don’t have time to check

Typical Sources of AWS Waste
Where Do You Overpay Most Often?
Based on 150+ AWS audits we see the same problems:
Unused Resources (30-40% of costs)
- Forgotten test and dev instances
- Unattached EBS volumes
- Old snapshots and AMIs
- Unused Load Balancers
- Orphaned Elastic IPs
Oversized Resources (20-30% of costs)
- EC2 instances with 5-10% CPU utilization
- RDS databases with excess capacity
- Oversized ElastiCache clusters
- Too large EBS volumes
No Commitment Discount (15-25% savings opportunity)
- Stable workloads without Reserved Instances
- No Savings Plans for compute
- Suboptimal storage plans (S3 Lifecycle)
Inefficient Architecture (10-15% of costs)
- No auto-scaling for variable load
- Unnecessary cross-AZ data transfer
- Expensive storage tiers (GP3 vs GP2)
- Suboptimal Lambda memory/timeout
