AWS Cost Optimization · FinOps

Reduce your AWS bill — without slowing down.

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.

The FinOps levers

Four mechanisms we apply to nearly every AWS estate — engineering decisions, not one-off discounts.

  • Right-sizing compute, storage and databases to real load
  • Savings Plans & Reserved coverage on steady workloads
  • Scheduling non-production off outside working hours
  • Spend governance so savings hold month after month

Where the waste hides

Six places AWS spend quietly leaks

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.

01

Over-provisioned instances

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.

Fix — right-size to real utilization and move to current-generation instance families.
02

Idle & always-on non-prod

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.

Fix — schedule non-production to start and stop around working hours.
03

Orphaned & legacy storage

Unattached EBS volumes, forgotten snapshots, old AMIs and infrequently accessed data sitting on premium storage tiers it no longer needs.

Fix — reclaim orphaned resources and apply S3/EBS lifecycle and tiering policies.
04

On-demand by default

Steady, predictable workloads still billed at on-demand rates — the most expensive way to run capacity you already know you'll need every month.

Fix — cover the steady baseline with Savings Plans and Reserved Instances.
05

Data transfer & egress

Cross-AZ chatter, NAT gateway throughput and internet egress that accrue quietly — often a meaningful share of the bill that no dashboard surfaces.

Fix — rework traffic paths, add VPC endpoints and right-place NAT and caching.
06

No tagging or accountability

Without consistent tags and per-team budgets, no one owns the spend — so cost creeps back the moment a clean-up project ends.

Fix — enforce a tagging standard with budgets, alerts and per-team cost visibility.
How we lower the bill

Mechanisms, not guesswork

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.

Right-sizing

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.

Savings Plans & Reserved

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.

Scheduling & autoscaling

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.

Spend governance

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.

The cost review

A clear read on your AWS spend

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.

  • Account analysis across compute, storage, databases, data transfer and commitment coverage.
  • Prioritized actions ranked by impact and effort — what to change first, and what it touches.
  • Well-Architected aligned — every recommendation respects security, reliability and performance.
  • Optional implementation by the same team, with governance so the savings hold.

How much room is in your AWS bill?

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.

Do your non-production environments shut down outside working hours?
Is most of your steady compute covered by Savings Plans or Reserved Instances?
Have your instances been right-sized against real utilization in the last six months?
Do you have a consistent tagging standard with per-team budgets?
Do you regularly reclaim orphaned storage — unattached volumes, old snapshots, stale AMIs?
Do budget or anomaly alerts notify your team when spend moves unexpectedly?
