Cloud Cost Optimization
Cloud is powerful — but without proper guardrails, it becomes expensive fast. Over-provisioned resources, unused services, and lack of visibility often result in overspending by 20–40% or more.
Our Cloud Cost Optimization services help you take control.
We analyze your AWS, Azure, and GCP environments to identify savings, align spend with business value, and build long-term cloud governance strategies that scale.
Why
Why Cloud Cost Optimization Matters
Prevent Bill Shock
Get ahead of unexpected charges with cost visibility and real-time alerting.
Improve Budget Predictability
Align cloud usage with business goals, seasonality, and expected growth.
Enable Financial Accountability (FinOps)
Give your engineering, finance, and leadership teams shared visibility into cloud spend — and ways to manage it together.
Right-Size Resources
Downsize or shut down underutilized compute, storage, and database resources automatically.
Reclaim Wasted Spend
Identify and eliminate orphaned volumes, unused IPs, and abandoned services.
Where We Optimize Costs
Compute (EC2, Azure VMs, GCP VMs)
- Spot underused instances, idle hours, and over-provisioned machines.
Storage (S3, Blob, Cloud Storage)
- Move cold data to lower-cost tiers and remove redundant snapshots.
Databases (RDS, SQL, BigQuery)
- Optimize instance types, retention policies, and auto-stop schedules.
Licensing & Marketplace
- Uncover savings through consolidated licensing, bring-your-own-license (BYOL), or reserved pricing.
Network Egress & Traffic
- Monitor inter-region transfers and optimize peering connections to reduce data transfer costs.
How AI4IT Services Can Help
We provide cloud cost optimization as a service — not just a one-time audit. With our FinOps-aligned approach, we help you:
- Visualize and break down spend across services, teams, and projects
- Automate cleanup and enforcement of cloud cost best practices
- Forecast spend accurately and set thresholds for growth
- Build a sustainable cloud financial operations (FinOps) model
We work across AWS, Azure, and GCP environments — single-cloud or multi-cloud — to ensure your investment delivers maximum business value.
