AWS Cost Optimization

Most clients see 20-80% savings, but I've helped companies reduce their AWS bills by up to 80% in cases of significant over-provisioning. The exact amount depends on your current architecture, resource utilization, and willingness to implement architectural changes. During our initial assessment, I'll provide a savings estimate based on your specific situation.

The initial assessment and recommendations typically take few days to as long as 2 weeks, depending on the size and complexity of your AWS environment. Implementing the recommendations can be done incrementally, with initial savings visible in your next AWS bill. Some architectural changes might take longer to implement but offer substantial long-term savings.

No, proper cost optimization should not negatively impact performance. I carefully analyze your workload patterns and requirements to ensure that any recommended changes maintain or improve performance while reducing costs. In many cases, properly right-sized resources can actually improve performance.

I can do either, depending on your preference. I can provide a detailed report with specific recommendations that your team can implement, or I can work directly with your team to implement the changes. Most clients prefer a hybrid approach where I implement the more complex changes while guiding their team through the simpler ones.

As part of the engagement, I set up automated monitoring and alerting systems that continuously track your AWS spending and resource utilization. I also provide recommendations for governance policies and can offer ongoing support to ensure your costs remain optimized as your workloads evolve.
