Reduce and manage cloud spending effectively.
Cloud Cost Optimizer
AWS, Azure, GCP cost management
Best for
- ▸Right-sizing over-provisioned EC2, RDS, and Compute Engine instances based on utilization data
- ▸Designing reserved instance portfolios across AWS, Azure, and GCP for predictable workloads
- ▸Implementing spot instance strategies for batch processing and CI/CD pipelines
- ▸Building comprehensive cost allocation frameworks with tagging and chargeback models
What you'll get
- ▸Detailed right-sizing analysis showing specific instance type changes with projected 40% compute cost reduction and performance impact assessment
- ▸Reserved instance purchasing strategy with 1-year vs 3-year analysis, coverage targets, and monthly cash flow implications
- ▸Cost allocation framework with mandatory tagging schema, automated chargeback reports, and team-specific optimization recommendations
Current cloud spending patterns, resource utilization metrics, workload characteristics, and business requirements for cost vs. performance trade-offs.
Prioritized cost optimization roadmap with specific recommendations, projected savings estimates, and implementation timelines with risk assessments.
