Save Up to 40% on Your AWS Bill!

An AWS Cost Optimization Review is a structured analysis of your AWS Cost and Usage Report, aligned with the Cost Optimization pillar of the AWS Well-Architected Framework . We analyze usage and spend across your AWS accounts, services, and Regions, then evaluate resource utilization against workload requirements. The output is a detailed report identifying each finding, the recommended AWS action, estimated monthly savings, and the recommended priority for implementation. By applying these recommendations, organizations can potentially save up to 40% on their AWS bill.

Most findings fall into four key areas: rightsizing resources that are overprovisioned for their workload requirements; identifying idle or underutilized resources; optimizing steady-state workloads through AWS Savings Plans or Reserved Instances instead of On-Demand pricing; and moving data to more cost-effective Amazon S3 storage classes based on access patterns and retention requirements.

Why is AWS Cost Optimization Important?

AWS Cost Optimization helps you make the most of your cloud investment by aligning AWS spending with actual workload requirements. By optimizing resource utilization, rightsizing workloads, and selecting the right AWS pricing options, you can improve cost efficiency while maintaining performance and scalability.

  • Maximize the value you derive from AWS services
  • Boost profitability and enhance financial flexibility.
  • Reduce the risk of overspending.
  • Foster accountability and efficient resource management within your organization.

AWS Cost Optimization is an ongoing practice. As workload requirements, usage patterns, and AWS services evolve, your cost-optimized environment can change over time. The review therefore concludes with a set of governance practices rather than one-time fixes. This includes configuring AWS Budgets and cost alerts, applying cost allocation tags consistently across AWS accounts, and establishing clear ownership of monthly cloud spend. You receive an actionable report, practical recommendations, and a cost baseline that can be used to track AWS cost efficiency and measure progress in the next quarter.

What the Review Delivers

Reduced AWS Costs

Idle and overprovisioned resources are identified across each AWS account, with the estimated monthly cost impact of each optimization opportunity clearly documented in the report.

Improved AWS Cost Visibility

Spend is clearly tracked by account, service, Region, and environment, making every cost easier to understand and manage.

Improved Efficiency

Steady and variable usage are separated, helping Savings Plans cover consistent workloads and reduce unnecessary costs.

AWS Cost Optimization Review Process

The process typically takes one to three weeks, depending on your AWS environment’s complexity.

Initial Access and Data Collection

You grant a read only IAM role and share the AWS Cost and Usage Report. Nothing in your account is changed at any point during the review

In-depth Analysis

We analyze your AWS cost data using a specialized third-party tool to identify savings opportunities and optimization areas.

Report Preparation and Recommendations

You receive a written report. Each finding carries the AWS action that resolves it, the estimated monthly effect and a priority.

Implementation

You can implement the recommendations yourself, or SUDO’s engineering team can apply them under a separate scope of work.
