- 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.
Idle instances, unattached storage and oversized compute were consuming budget.
Resources were right-sized to usage, with monitoring to prevent future drift.
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.
Infrastructure matched to actual usage, with monitoring to prevent drift.
