Cloud Cost OptimizationTypical 30-50% Reduction
When your client's cloud bill is growing faster than their revenue, we find out why and fix it. Comprehensive audit across AWS, GCP, or Azure — with immediate quick wins and a long-term savings strategy.
Pain Points Your Client Is Experiencing
Cloud cost problems compound silently until they become a board-level concern. These are the symptoms.
Cloud bill growing faster than revenue
The AWS bill doubled in the last year but usage only grew 30%. Nobody can explain where the money is going or what's driving the increases.
Unused resources accumulating everywhere
Stopped instances, orphaned snapshots, idle load balancers, forgotten dev environments — waste that compounds month over month with nobody tracking it.
No cost visibility or accountability
Cloud spend is a single line item on the P&L. No per-team breakdown, no per-service breakdown, no way to understand what's expensive or why.
Over-provisioned infrastructure everywhere
Servers sized for peak load that never comes. Database instances with 5% CPU utilization. Reserved instances bought wrong or not at all.
What PlatOps Delivers
A systematic 4-week audit with real numbers — not theoretical savings. We identify what to cut, what to rightsize, and what reserved instances to buy. Then we help implement it.
- Full cloud resource inventory across all accounts and regions
- Waste identification — unused, idle, and orphaned resources
- Rightsizing analysis with specific downgrade recommendations
- Reserved instance and savings plan strategy with ROI calculations
- Tagging strategy design for cost allocation and accountability
- Implementation of quick wins — immediate savings actions
- Cost anomaly detection and alerting setup
- Executive report with savings roadmap and projected impact
Fixed-fee 4-week engagement covering full audit, recommendations report, and implementation of quick wins. ROI typically achieved within the first month of savings.
Typical results
Clients spending $20K+/month on cloud routinely save $6K-$10K/month after implementation. The audit pays for itself within 30 days.
Engagement model
Fixed-fee, no retainer required. Optional ongoing monitoring retainer ($1.5K/month) to keep savings locked in and catch new waste.
Your commission: 20-30% = $1,600-$2,400
