AWS Cost Optimisation
Reduce AWS Costs Without Sacrificing Performance
Cost optimisation identifies waste, implements efficiencies, and delivers immediate savings—often cutting cloud spending significantly within weeks.
Amazon Web Services bills have a habit of growing faster than revenue. What started as a few hundred dollars per month can quickly balloon to tens of thousands, often with significant waste hidden in the complexity.
Cost optimisation analyses your usage patterns, identifies inefficiencies, and implements changes that deliver immediate and ongoing savings—without impacting performance or reliability.
Common Cost Drains We Fix
Over-Provisioned Resources
EC2 instances, RDS databases, and other resources running larger than needed. We right-size based on actual usage patterns.
Idle & Unused Resources
Old snapshots, unattached EBS volumes, unused Elastic IPs, and forgotten development environments burning money for no reason.
Inefficient Purchasing
Paying on-demand rates when Reserved Instances or Savings Plans would deliver 40-70% savings. We optimise your purchasing strategy.
Data Transfer Costs
Unnecessary inter-region transfers, inefficient architectures, and missing CloudFront configurations driving up bandwidth costs.
Storage Waste
S3 objects not using lifecycle policies, infrequently accessed data on expensive storage tiers, and unoptimised backup strategies.
Lack of Visibility
No cost allocation tags, no budgets, no alerts - just a monthly surprise. We implement proper cost tracking and accountability.

The Optimisation Process
1. Comprehensive Analysis
3-6 months of usage data is analysed to identify patterns, waste, and optimisation opportunities across all AWS services.
2. Prioritised Recommendations
Quick wins for immediate savings, medium-term optimisations, and long-term architectural improvements—all with projected savings.
3. Safe Implementation
Changes are implemented carefully, with performance monitoring to ensure no negative impact on your applications or users.
4. Ongoing Monitoring
Cost alerts, budgets, and regular reviews are set up to prevent waste from creeping back in.
