AWS Cost Transformation — Compute Right-Sizing & Savings Plans

The Challenge

Monthly cloud bill ballooned to $23K due to over-provisioned instances, unused volumes, and no reserved instance strategy.

15 over-provisioned instances at <10% CPU
340GB orphaned storage volumes
Zero Reserved Instance or Savings Plans coverage
NAT Gateway processing 2TB/month unnecessarily

Our Solution

FinOps audit identified $14K in waste. Rightsized instances, implemented Savings Plans, cleaned orphaned resources, set up automated cost alerts.

Rightsized 15 instances from 4xlarge to xlarge
Deleted 340GB orphaned volumes and 12 unused Elastic IPs
Purchased 1-year Savings Plans covering 80% baseline
Moved intra-VPC traffic to private endpoints (saved $1,200/mo)
Set up cloud budget alerts at 80%/100%
Results & Impact

Sustained 60%+ savings over 12 months. FinOps dashboard prevents cost drift automatically.
