Cutting cloud costs without cutting reliability

Start with visibility

You cannot reduce what you cannot attribute. Tag every resource with an owner, environment and product, and review spend per team every month.

Quick wins

Most environments have the same handful of easy savings:

• Delete unattached volumes, old snapshots and idle load balancers.
• Schedule non-production environments to shut down out of hours.
• Right-size instances using real utilisation data.

Architecture changes that keep paying

Autoscaling, managed services and caching reduce both cost and operational load. Commit to reserved capacity only after the architecture has settled.
