AWS Cloud Cost Optimization for Startups & Scale-Ups

Most startups overpay on AWS by 30–50%. We audit your cloud spend, eliminate waste, and implement the right pricing strategies — without touching your uptime.

Your AWS Bill Is Higher Than It Should Be

Cloud infrastructure grows fast and billing is complex. Without active optimization, waste accumulates silently every month.

Common Causes of AWS Overspend

  • Over-provisioned EC2 instances running at 10–20% CPU
  • Idle or forgotten resources — old snapshots, unused EIPs, orphaned load balancers
  • On-demand pricing for workloads that run 24/7
  • No Spot or Graviton adoption — paying full x86 on-demand rates
  • Uncompressed S3 data and cross-region transfer costs
  • No budget alerts — surprises at the end of each month

After an Omphora Cost Optimization

  • Right-sized instances based on actual utilization metrics
  • All idle resources identified and decommissioned
  • Spot instances for stateless workloads — up to 90% cheaper
  • Graviton migration where applicable — better price/performance
  • Savings Plans and Reserved Instances for stable baseline workloads
  • Budget alerts and Cost Anomaly Detection configured

Cloud Cost Optimization Services

AWS Cost Audit

A full review of your AWS account — Cost Explorer analysis, Trusted Advisor findings, and utilization data across all regions. You get a prioritized list of savings opportunities with estimated impact.

Right-Sizing & Instance Optimization

We analyze CPU, memory, and network utilization over 30–90 days and recommend the correct instance type and size. Graviton3 migrations typically cut compute costs by 20–40% with no code changes.

Spot & Savings Plans

Move stateless and fault-tolerant workloads to Spot. For stable baseline capacity, we model and purchase the right Compute Savings Plans — typically saving 40–60% over on-demand rates.

Storage & Data Transfer

S3 lifecycle policies, intelligent tiering, and EBS volume cleanup. We also map and reduce cross-region and cross-AZ data transfer costs, which are often invisible until the bill arrives.

Cost Alerting & Governance

AWS Budgets, Cost Anomaly Detection, and tag-based cost allocation so you always know what's spending what. We define tagging standards and enforce them via Service Control Policies.

Kubernetes Cost Optimization

EKS clusters on Spot nodes with Karpenter — intelligent node provisioning that picks the cheapest available instance type for each workload. Combined with resource requests/limits tuning for accurate bin-packing.

How a Cost Optimization Engagement Works

Audit & Baseline

We connect to your AWS account (read-only access) and pull utilization data, Cost Explorer reports, and Trusted Advisor findings to establish a spending baseline.

Savings Roadmap

We deliver a prioritized report of savings opportunities with estimated monthly impact, implementation effort, and risk level. You decide what to action first.

Implementation

We implement changes — right-sizing, Spot migration, Savings Plan purchases, and storage cleanup — in coordination with your team to avoid any service disruption.

Monitor & Sustain

Budgets, alerts, and tagging standards are configured so savings are maintained. We hand off a cost governance playbook your team can follow going forward.
