Most AWS estates carry spend that earns nothing — idle capacity, over-provisioned instances and on-demand pricing left on by default. As an AWS Select Tier Services Partner, ASAL Cloud finds that waste and removes it with proven FinOps mechanisms: right-sizing, savings plans, scheduling and spend governance.
Four mechanisms we apply to nearly every AWS estate — engineering decisions, not one-off discounts.
A cloud bill grows in small, easy-to-miss increments. These are the six patterns we look for first when we review an AWS account — and the mechanism that fixes each one.
Compute and databases sized for a worst-case peak that rarely arrives — running at single-digit CPU around the clock while you pay for the full machine.
Dev, test and staging environments left running nights and weekends. For most teams that is roughly two-thirds of the week spent on capacity nobody is using.
Unattached EBS volumes, forgotten snapshots, old AMIs and infrequently accessed data sitting on premium storage tiers it no longer needs.
Steady, predictable workloads still billed at on-demand rates — the most expensive way to run capacity you already know you'll need every month.
Cross-AZ chatter, NAT gateway throughput and internet egress that accrue quietly — often a meaningful share of the bill that no dashboard surfaces.
Without consistent tags and per-team budgets, no one owns the spend — so cost creeps back the moment a clean-up project ends.
We reduce cost the way engineers do — by changing how the estate runs, then putting governance in place so the savings hold. Every change is made against AWS-native data and the Well-Architected cost-optimization pillar.
We analyze utilization across EC2, RDS, EBS and containers, then match each resource to its real demand — dropping over-sized instances and moving to current-generation, often Graviton-based, families.
We model your steady baseline and recommend the right commitment mix — Compute Savings Plans, EC2 Instance Savings Plans and Reserved Instances — to cover predictable load without locking you into capacity you'll outgrow.
Non-production environments start and stop around working hours; production scales with demand instead of running for the peak. Capacity follows the workload, not the calendar.
We establish a tagging standard, per-team budgets and anomaly alerts in AWS Cost Explorer and Budgets — so the team sees cost as it happens and the savings don't quietly erode.
Start with a structured review of your AWS account, run by AWS-certified engineers. We work from your own Cost Explorer and billing data — nothing to install — and return a prioritized set of actions, each tied to a specific mechanism.
Answer six quick questions about how your AWS estate runs today. Nothing is sent anywhere — this runs entirely in your browser as a rough indicator of where savings may sit.
Indicative only. A real cost review works from your actual AWS billing data, not a questionnaire.
