A lower AWS bill, with a fee taken from the saving
We review your bill and your architecture together, then apply the changes in your accounts. The fee is a percentage of the measured monthly saving. The baseline and the measurement period are fixed in the contract.

Where the money goes
An AWS bill is the sum of four layers. Each layer has its own cost topics, and the largest savings are usually in the workloads layer and in the network layer. We review all four, because a change in one shifts cost into another.
Network
NAT gateway and Transit Gateway data processing, VPC endpoints instead of internet paths, traffic that crosses Availability Zones without need.
Security
Web application firewall rule tuning, threat detection and findings cost, log retention, security groups and resources nobody uses.
Workloads
Rightsizing, Graviton and Spot capacity, Savings Plans and Reserved Instances once usage is stable, scale to zero outside working hours.
How the engagement runs

Changes applied, savings measured
We apply the changes in your accounts in order of return, each with a rollback plan. The saving is measured against the baseline each month, and the fee follows the measurement.
