The challenge

An AWS estate without a clear inventory.

Audit, right-sizing and drift monitoring

The client's Cloud environment had grown organically over time. No one had a clear picture of what was running, what was needed, and what was burning money.

Before

Idle instances, unattached storage and oversized compute were consuming budget.

After our work

Resources were right-sized to usage, with monitoring to prevent future drift.

Our work

Audit, right-size and monitor infrastructure.

The approach

Optimize usage before adding capacity. The audit identified idle instances, unattached storage and oversized compute, allowing the work to focus on resources that were consuming budget without matching actual demand.

The solution path

Infrastructure matched to actual usage, with monitoring to prevent drift.

Conceptual workflow · based on the published case study
  1. Inventory

    Comprehensive audit of all Cloud resources across accounts

  2. Find waste

    Identified idle instances, unattached storage, oversized compute, and redundant services

  3. Right-size

    Right-sized infrastructure to actual usage patterns

  4. Monitor

    Implemented monitoring to prevent future drift
