Our Services
Get insights and results, fast
AWS Cost management is both a science and an art. Take advantage of our expertise and reap immediate benefits, along with a longterm roadmap, and tooling to track progress. Whether you have a FinOps team or not, we can help close the gap between Finance and Engineering!
Phase 1: Architectural and org overview
At CostOps, we have found that the early choices of how your services were built and organized is the primary driver of growth and baseline cost. Understanding the history, current state and roadmap is the foundation of how we help you set and achieve your cost goals.
Phase 2: Low hanging fruit and tagging
Once your architecture and org overview have been established, we will work with your team to immediately address the easy/low hanging fruit items that we identify. We will also assess your current tagging strategy and make recommendations here as well.
Phase 3: Final analysis, education and tooling
Once we understand your org and architecture, and have addressed the low hanging fruit, we will deliver our final analysis of the environment:
current state, proposed state, and a roadmap including long term project recommendations.
We will rank our future work based on time/effort and ROI so that you have a clear understanding of what to pursue (and not pursue).
AWS Contract negotiations
It’s no coincidence that cloud contracts are opaque and confusing
It is also very difficult to forecast 3 to 5 years out and thread the needle between committing too high or low.
Most FinOps consulting groups only know the numbers and the contracts, but we are engineers first, and we understand the real advantages and pitfalls you shoudl consider when you negotiate with AWS.

Cumulative AWS cost savings
We have found that the initial concerns company’s have (such as over provisioned servers, dev environments running too large etc) aren’t actually the primary drivers of AWS cost growth. In our experience the primary drivers are:
– application architecture (specifically, how static vs responsive it is to load)
– data storage/duplication/retention policies
– engineering education on how each AWS service type affects cost
By optimizing AWS service usage, we ensure your infrastructure is not only cost-efficient but also aligned with your operational goals.

FAQ
What is your pricing model?
We offer a fixed fee price based on the size of your cloud spend. It comes with a guarantee that if we aren’t able to save you 2x our consulting fee, then you don’t have to pay us at all! That is how confident we are in what we do.
How much access will you need to my AWS account?
We will need access to your AWS bill and CUR (Cost Usage Report) in AWS, as well as your server/database utilization metrics to understand how the resources you currently have are utilized today.
We will share an IAM read-only role with your security team that is focused on the AWS CUR report/billing module.
Can you come in and do an education course on AWS cost practices?
Absolutely! However, we find that blindly educating Finance/Engineering/FinOps teams is not nearly as effective as understanding the context of the application and organization first. This is a massive and complex topic, and surgical focus tends to be more effective.
