Overview
AWS Cost Optimization‑as‑a‑Service is a fully managed, subscription‑based offering that continuously reduces your AWS spend without disrupting your workloads. Ideal for organisations spending £3k–£20k per month on AWS, this service provides expert FinOps guidance, automated analysis, and proactive optimisation — all without requiring in‑house cloud cost specialists.
Our team monitors your environment, identifies waste, manages commitment‑based discounts, and ensures your infrastructure remains cost‑efficient as it evolves. You gain predictable monthly savings, clear reporting, and dedicated expert support.
What’s Included
**Monthly Cost Report ** A detailed, actionable breakdown of your AWS spend, highlighting trends, anomalies, and inefficiencies so you always understand where your budget is going.
Rightsizing Recommendations
Continuous analysis of compute, storage, and database utilisation to identify over‑provisioned or under‑utilised resources, with precise recommendations to align capacity with real workload demand.
Monthly Review Call A dedicated session to walk through findings, discuss upcoming infrastructure changes, and align optimisation efforts with your business priorities.
Onboarding Process
- Scoping Call - We discuss your AWS environment, current spend patterns, and optimisation goals.
- Access Setup - You grant a read-only IAM role with least-privilege permissions scoped to billing and resource metadata. No write access to your infrastructure is required.
- Baseline Analysis - We perform an initial assessment of your environment and deliver your first cost report.
- Ongoing Monthly Cycle - Continuous monitoring, monthly reports, rightsizing recommendations, and a scheduled review call each billing period.
Security and Data Handling
We request only read-only IAM access scoped to cost and usage data. Your billing and resource metadata is transmitted and stored using encryption. We follow least-privilege principles and do not modify your infrastructure directly. All recommendations are delivered for your team to review and implement.
Use Case Example
A growing SaaS company running multiple EC2 instances and RDS databases was spending significantly more than necessary due to over-provisioned compute and lack of Reserved Instance coverage. After onboarding, our analysis identified idle resources, recommended instance family changes, and structured a Savings Plan that delivered measurable reductions from the first billing cycle.
Technical Prerequisites
- Active AWS account with Cost Explorer enabled
- Ability to create a read-only IAM role for our analysis tooling
- A designated point of contact for monthly review calls (approximately 1 hour per month)
- Multi-account environments supported via AWS Organizations
Scope and Limitations
This service covers cost analysis and optimisation recommendations for standard AWS compute, storage, database, and serverless workloads. It does not include emergency incident response, managed security operations, infrastructure changes implementation, legal advice, or certification services.
Why Businesses Choose This Service
Reducing AWS costs is a universal priority, yet most organisations lack specialised FinOps expertise to optimise effectively. This service delivers savings from the first month, providing expert cost management without hiring additional staff. Onboarding is straightforward, impact is immediate, and the value compounds every billing cycle.
Highlights
- Read-only IAM access with least-privilege permissions means your infrastructure is never at risk. We analyze Amazon EC2, RDS, S3, EBS, and Lambda workloads using AWS Cost Explorer and Compute Optimizer alongside our own methodology to surface savings across your entire environment - from idle resources to unoptimized commitment discounts.
- Structured onboarding takes you from scoping call to first actionable cost report in days, not weeks. We handle Reserved Instance and Savings Plan management, continuous rightsizing analysis, and monthly review calls - delivering a complete FinOps function without hiring additional headcount or purchasing separate tooling.
- Every recommendation is backed by utilization data and workload analysis specific to your environment. Monthly reports break down spend by service, highlight anomalies, and prioritize actions by potential savings impact so your team can focus on the changes that matter most to your bottom line.
