COST AWS Cost Optimization

Cut the cloud bill
without breaking production.

AWS cost optimization and Well-Architected review from a Principal Architect with 30+ years in infrastructure. A free scan to see if there's waste, a fixed-price Health Check to plan the cuts, and a Sprint to make them. Public pricing. No drawn-out proposal process.

30%+ cost reductions
in 60 to 90 days.

Cloud cost audits with measurable savings targets, executed inside your existing AWS, GCP, or Azure environment. No rip-and-replace, no platform changes. Identified, agreed, and implemented within 60 to 90 days, depending on how much waste exists at the start.

Opportunity map, scored and sequenced

Every finding scored on monthly impact, implementation effort, and operational risk, in the order we'd implement it. Commitment coverage, oversized compute, non-production running 24/7, over-provisioned databases, orphaned storage and networking.

A 30-60-90 plan finance can track

Quick wins with no change windows first, structural changes scheduled second, governance third so the waste doesn't come back. Recurring savings, not a PDF.

Well-Architected, six pillars

Cost is one pillar. The same review covers operational excellence, security, reliability, performance, and sustainability, so the savings plan doesn't create the next outage.

Implementation your way

Your team executes with the plan, Skyform's specialist bench executes alongside you, or the work becomes a fixed-price follow-on. A third of Health Check clients take the plan and run with it internally. That counts as a win.

What does 30% look like for you?

Enter your monthly cloud spend. The estimate uses the 20 to 30% reduction range typical of Skyform cost engagements. Estimates, not promises: actual savings depend on how much waste exists, which is exactly what a Health Check measures.

What free AWS tools miss.

Cost Explorer, Compute Optimizer, Trusted Advisor, and the Cost Optimization Hub are good at what they do: they surface line items. What they don't know is that the oversized cluster is load-bearing for quarter-end, or that the idle environment belongs to an audit requirement, or that the commitment recommendation assumes a workload you're about to migrate.

A practitioner reads the estate the way an operator does. Every finding is scored for risk, sequenced so the savings fund the discipline, and tied to a named owner and a change window. Finance sees recurring savings on the next bill. Engineering keeps the systems that matter.

That is what $15K buys over a tool export, and it is why the free scan tells you honestly when your environment is already clean.

30%+ off the cloud bill for a financial services firm, identified and implemented in 60 days. Comprehensive audit across a multi-account AWS environment: underutilized resources, rightsized compute, and reserved capacity restructured to match actual usage.
