Overview

Cloud Cost Optimization & FinOps

We help teams understand, control and reduce cloud spend across AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud — combining engineering changes with FinOps practices so cost becomes visible, owned and predictable.

The problem we solve

Cloud bills grow faster than usage. Idle resources, oversized instances, unused commitments and untagged spend make it hard to know who is spending what — or what can safely be cut.

How we work

We start with a cost audit across your AWS, Azure or GCP accounts, rank savings opportunities by effort and risk, implement the engineering changes with your team, then set up tagging, budgets and reporting so savings last.

What you get

A clear picture of where your cloud money goes, a prioritised list of savings implemented safely, cost ownership by team and the habits and tooling to keep spend predictable.

What's included

Engineering changes and FinOps practices that make cloud spend visible and controllable.

  • Cloud cost audit

    A structured review of usage, pricing and architecture across accounts, subscriptions and projects.

  • Native billing & cost tools

    AWS Billing and Cost Explorer, Azure Cost Management + Billing and Google Cloud Billing set up with cost exports, budgets, alerts and views per team.

  • AWS, Azure & GCP optimization

    Provider-specific recommendations for compute, storage, databases, networking and managed services.

  • Rightsizing & idle cleanup

    Matching instance and database sizes to real usage and removing idle or orphaned resources.

  • Commitments & pricing models

    Savings Plans, reserved capacity, committed-use discounts and spot capacity where they fit.

  • Kubernetes cost visibility

    Cost per namespace, workload and team, plus requests and limits tuned to actual consumption.

  • Tagging, allocation & showback

    Tagging policies and cost allocation so each team and product sees its own spend.

  • Budgets, forecasts & anomaly alerts

    Budgets and forecasts per team, with alerts when spend moves unexpectedly.

    Working through compute, database and storage sizing with your engineers, safely and in stages.

  • Commitment planning

    Choosing the right mix of Savings Plans, reservations and on-demand capacity for your usage.

  • Cost allocation & showback

    Tagging and reporting so every team can see and own its cloud spend.

  • Kubernetes cost control

    Per-workload cost visibility and tuned resource requests across clusters.

  • FinOps operating rhythm

FAQ

Questions about Cost Optimization & FinOps

How much can we save on our cloud bill?
It depends on your current setup. A cost audit shows where the opportunities are and their likely impact before you commit to any changes — we don't promise a fixed percentage.
Will cost optimization affect performance or reliability?
Changes are tested and rolled out in stages, with performance monitored throughout. Reliability-critical workloads are sized for headroom, not just the lowest cost.
Do you work with Azure Cost Management + Billing?
Yes. We configure Azure Cost Management + Billing — scopes, cost exports, budgets, alerts and cost analysis views — alongside AWS Billing and Cost Explorer and Google Cloud Billing for multi-cloud teams.
What is FinOps?
FinOps is a practice that brings engineering, finance and business teams together to manage cloud spend — through visibility, ownership, budgets and regular review.
