Five audit areas

What we look at

Engineers run the review with AI-assisted analysis pulling patterns out of your cost and usage data. Five areas, plain-English findings, ranked by impact.

01

Compute

Usually the largest line on a cloud bill. Right-sizing alone can shift it 15 to 30 percent.

  • Instance right-sizing
  • Reserved and spot opportunities
  • Idle workloads
  • Auto-scaling tuning
02

Storage

Where the quickest wins tend to hide. Old volumes, thin lifecycle policies, and stale buckets add up over time.

  • Orphaned EBS volumes
  • Lifecycle policy gaps
  • Cold-tier candidates
03

Database

Capacity you are not using shows up as a recurring charge. Sizing, caching, and backups looked at together.

  • RDS sizing
  • Caching strategy
  • Backup retention
04

Networking

Easy to miss. NAT gateways, egress, and load balancers can quietly add 10 to 15 percent.

  • NAT gateways
  • Egress and CDN
  • Load balancers
  • Unused Elastic IPs
05

Reliability

Not just uptime. What happens in a bad hour, and what to change before it shows up.

  • Single points of failure
  • Backup and DR readiness
  • Security posture
Timeline

How the week runs

From kickoff to final report in seven days. You see progress at every step, and nothing happens in your environment without you knowing about it.

Day 101
Kickoff & access
Read-only credentials set up with your team. Infrastructure inventory begins across every account.
Days 2-302
Infrastructure mapping
A full resource pass across regions, environments, and services, with AI-assisted tagging for speed.
Days 4-503
Cost analysis
Waste, right-sizing, and reserved-instance modeling, with engineers validating every finding.
Days 6-704
Reliability review
Single points of failure, scaling gaps, and backup coverage reviewed with your team in the loop.
Day 705
Report delivered
You get the full report, a prioritized remediation roadmap, and a 12-month savings projection your team owns.
We don't change anything in your environment. Read-only access, start to finish.
After the assessment

Want help putting the roadmap into action?

The $1,500 covers the assessment, the findings, and the prioritized roadmap. Implementation is optional. If your team wants to run with it, that is the plan. If you would rather have us in the trenches, we are happy to take it from here as a separate engagement. Whichever way you go, you own the roadmap.

Talk about implementation → Always optional. Never bundled.

"We thought we had a handle on costs. Turns out we were spending $18K a month on idle instances and unused snapshots. The assessment paid for itself in the first month."

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

The assessment covers five audit areas: Compute (right-sizing, reserved instances), Storage (orphaned volumes, lifecycle policies), Database (RDS optimization, caching), Networking (NAT costs, data transfer), and Reliability (single points of failure, backup coverage). You get a detailed audit report, a prioritized remediation roadmap, and a 12-month savings projection your team can take straight into planning.

One week from kickoff to final report. Day 1 is access setup and inventory, Days 2-3 cover infrastructure mapping, Days 4-5 focus on cost analysis, Days 6-7 cover the reliability review, and Day 7 ends with the final report delivered to your team.

AI helps us move faster through large, messy inventories. It tags usage patterns, surfaces utilization outliers, and drafts first-pass summaries of cost and reliability findings. Our engineers review every recommendation before it lands in your report, so nothing makes it to the roadmap without a human sanity check.

Teams spending $10,000 or more per month typically see a 25-35% cost reduction. Actual savings depend on your environment, how long it has been since the last optimization pass, and how aggressively your team wants to implement.

No. We only need read-only access to your cloud cost explorer and console. Your infrastructure stays untouched through the entire assessment, and your team can revoke access at any point.

AWS, Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure, and multi-cloud environments.

Your team owns the roadmap. You can run the recommendations in-house or bring us in for implementation. Either way, the report is yours to keep and share.

Fixed price of $1,500 for the standard scope. We'll confirm scope and pricing in writing before any work starts.
