FinOps on AWS
AWS Cost Optimization
Proven AWS cost reduction with FinOps, right-sizing, Savings Plans, and cost governance. Real cases with up to ~55% reduction.
The challenge
AWS costs growing without control
Many companies see their AWS costs growing month over month without understanding why. Over-provisioned resources, idle instances, lack of commitments (Reserved Instances or Savings Plans), and absence of cost governance are common causes. Without a FinOps practice, waste can represent a material share of the bill.
Who it's for
Companies that want to reduce AWS costs
Engineering, finance, and leadership teams that need to control AWS spending. Ideal for companies with AWS bills above $10K/month that have never done an optimization exercise, or that want to implement a continuous FinOps practice.

How we optimize your AWS costs
Assessment and quick wins
Analysis of your current AWS bill to identify immediate waste: idle instances, unattached EBS, unused Elastic IPs, and over-provisioned resources. The initial focus is prioritizing low-risk savings opportunities before structural changes.
Right-sizing and Savings Plans
Instance right-sizing based on actual utilization. Recommendation and implementation of Savings Plans and Reserved Instances when usage patterns justify 1- to 3-year commitments.
Spot and optimized architecture
Spot Instances for interruption-tolerant workloads when the operational profile allows it. Architecture review to use serverless services (Lambda, Fargate) and storage tiers (S3 Intelligent-Tiering).
Governance and continuous FinOps
Cost dashboards with Cost Explorer and CUR. Budgets and automatic alerts. Tagging strategy for cost allocation by team, project, and environment. Monthly optimization reviews.

More about usFrequently asked questions
What do people ask about AWS Cost Optimization?
How much can I save on my AWS bill?
Savings depend on workload maturity, utilization, existing commitments, and architecture. In many environments, the first assessment identifies low-risk opportunities in idle resources, right-sizing, storage, and commitment planning. For larger targets, we use CUR and Cost Explorer data before recommending changes.
What is FinOps?
FinOps is a practice that combines engineering, finance, and business to manage cloud costs. It includes real-time cost visibility, allocation by team/project, continuous optimization, and a culture of cost accountability.
Does right-sizing affect performance?
No. Right-sizing is based on actual utilization data (CPU, memory, network). We recommend instances that meet real demand with a safety margin. We monitor performance after the change to ensure zero impact.
Does Elevata offer continuous optimization?
Yes. Beyond the initial assessment, we offer continuous FinOps as part of Elevata Orbit (managed services). It includes monthly reviews, anomaly alerts, and Savings Plans updates as usage evolves.
