Cloud cost review · FinOps

Your cloud bill keeps rising and nobody knows why.

If your cloud bill keeps rising every month and nobody on the team knows why, we start there. We review your AWS or Azure environment with read-only access and deliver the report in 5 business days from when access is granted (Essential); for Business, the lead time is agreed at the start.

Built for B2B software companies with their own technical team and cloud spend of about €2,000 a month or more.

01 · What you get

What you get

  • Executive and technical report.
  • Potential savings identified, prioritised and with their risk.
  • 30-day action plan.
  • Results call.

The report talks about potential savings identified, not savings achieved: what you gain depends on what you decide to apply and when.

02 · Access

Read-only access

A read-only role that you create, limited to billing, usage and configuration, revocable whenever you like. We do not ask you for access keys or passwords. With that role we cannot modify resources. We agree the exact permissions with you before we start.

03 · Who it is for

Who it is for and who it is not

Yes

  • B2B software companies with their own technical team.
  • Main cloud on AWS or Azure and spend of about €2,000 a month or more.
  • No one dedicated to FinOps, DevOps or SRE.

No

  • Cloud spend below about €2,000 a month is not the ideal case: the saving may not repay the effort.
  • If you cannot create a read-only access, we cannot run the review.

04 · Tiers

Three tiers by scope

The tier depends on the number of accounts, providers, services and the monthly spend.

  • 20 services
  • Spend from €5,000 to €15,000/month

  • Tailored
  • More accounts, providers or services, or higher spend

The price and terms are agreed in writing before we start.

05 · FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What access do you need?

A read-only role that you create, limited to billing, usage and configuration, revocable whenever you like. We do not ask you for access keys or passwords. With that role we cannot modify resources. We agree the exact permissions with you before we start.

What data do you see?

We design the access so that it does not read the contents of your databases or files. We see billing, usage and resource configuration. That configuration may include tags or names with personal data and environment variables; if there are secrets in there, we point it out and do not copy them into the report.

What happens to my data?

We do not extract the contents of your data. Billing and configuration data is processed only to produce the report, and the retention period is agreed in writing before we start.

What if there are no savings?

The room for savings may be small or none. In that case we put it in writing, with the reason. The review is fixed-price: the report is delivered and charged either way, because the analysis work is the same.

What happens next?

You decide. With the report and the 30-day plan you can apply the changes with your own team. If you would rather we implement them, we quote that separately.
