Costa InnovationsIs your infrastructure bill sky-high? We bring it down for you
We find out what your operation really needs to run and fit your AWS infrastructure to that size. You know how much you will save before anything is touched.
Signs your infrastructure is bigger than the operation needs
- The bill grows every month and nobody can explain why.
- Machines run all night and all weekend, whether they are used or not.
- The servers were chosen years ago and have never been reviewed since.
How we get to right-sized infrastructure
- 1
We measure what the operation demands
We look at real usage: how much traffic, at what times, which peaks and how much data is stored.
- 2
We define what is needed
From that usage, we work out what the infrastructure must have to run well, with headroom for the peak day.
- 3
We compare it with what is contracted
We put what is needed next to what AWS charges today. Anything beyond that is cost that does not need to exist.
- 4
We adapt the services
We resize machines, storage and databases to fit, one change at a time, and check the next bill.
What is usually the wrong size
- Machines larger than the workload needs
- Test environments running 24 hours a day
- Disks, backups and IP addresses that belong to nothing
- No discount plans for what runs all the time, such as Savings Plans and reserved instances
Frequently asked questions
How much can I cut from my AWS bill?
It depends on how far the infrastructure has drifted from what the operation uses. Accounts that grew without review usually have more slack. The assessment shows the possible amount before any change.
Does cost reduction affect system performance?
It should not. The starting point is what the operation needs to run well, peak day included. Only what goes beyond that is removed, one change at a time and with monitoring.
Do you need access to change my account?
Not for the assessment. Read-only access to usage data and costs is enough. Write access is only needed if you decide we should make the adjustments.
Why does my AWS bill grow when the operation does not?
The most common reasons are forgotten resources, machines created larger than needed, data transfer between regions and test environments that never shut down.
