Cost Reduction Hands-on
As your cloud infrastructure grows, so do the opportunities to optimize spending. At iamops, we don’t just provide insights—we take action. Our Cost Reduction Hands-On service offers proactive, expert-led strategies to optimize your cloud usage, eliminate waste, and reduce costs without compromising performance or scalability. By working directly with your teams, we identify inefficiencies, recommend targeted optimizations, and implement real-time changes to ensure your cloud environment is lean and cost-effective.
How It Works
In-Depth
Cloud Usage Audit
We begin with a thorough audit of your cloud infrastructure, assessing all active services, resources, and configurations. This audit reveals inefficiencies and over-provisioned resources, helping us identify areas where costs can be immediately reduced.
Examples:
- Identify and rightsize underutilized or idle EC2 instances.
- Detect over-provisioned RDS instances that can be scaled down.
- Review storage services like S3 to archive or delete unused data, reducing storage costs.
- Identify costly data transfer patterns across regions or services, and propose optimizations.
- Assess Kubernetes (EKS) clusters for over-provisioned compute resources and suggest efficient pod scaling strategies.
Resource
Rightsizing and Optimization
Once the audit is complete, we take hands-on action to rightsize your resources, ensuring each component of your cloud environment operates at peak efficiency. Our team also optimizes workloads to reduce costs while maintaining performance.
Examples:
- Resize EC2 instances, RDS databases, or autoscaling groups based on actual usage.
- Implement dynamic scaling for traffic-heavy services, ensuring resources are only used when demand peaks.
- Optimize storage by moving infrequently accessed data to lower-cost options like S3 Glacier or using lifecycle policies.
- Set up automated scheduling to shut down non-critical resources during off-hours.
- Introduce spot instances and savings plans for specific workloads, reducing compute costs without sacrificing availability.
Architecture-Level
Optimization for Cost Reduction
Beyond optimizing individual resources, we look at your cloud architecture as a whole to implement strategic changes that reduce costs. By optimizing data transfer, storage, and traffic management at the architecture level, we help you save more in the long term.
Examples:
- Re-architect workloads to use serverless services like AWS Lambda, reducing the need for always-on infrastructure.
- Optimize storage architectures to reduce unnecessary read/write operations, cutting costs associated with data retrieval.
- Shift workloads to lower-cost regions or services, ensuring you maintain the required performance while minimizing overall spend.
- Design multi-region or multi-AZ architectures that optimize data transfer costs and reduce latency.
- Implement edge computing or content delivery strategies (e.g., AWS CloudFront) to minimize traffic costs and improve performance.
