Our team conducted a thorough AWS cost optimization initiative for an existing client with a mature, multi-service infrastructure spanning production and non-production environments. The goal was to reduce expenses across key services without compromising performance, compliance, or availability, achieving an estimated 35-50% overall cost savings through targeted rightsizing, lifecycle management, and commitment-based pricing.
We began with:
Used AWS Cost Explorer, Compute Optimizer, and CloudWatch for baseline analysis. Implemented no-regret quick wins (e.g., idle resource cleanup), followed by commitment modeling. Post- established monthly reviews and tagging for ongoing accountability. Total character count: 2,847.
Delivered predictable savings via Savings Plans/RIs, modernized architecture (e.g., Graviton), and eliminated waste. Client reported sustained monthly reductions, with flexibility for scaling.
