Cost Optimisation Assessment
The Mechanical Rock AWS Cost Optimisation Assessment is an independent review of an organisation’s AWS service usage, with the intention of providing a scope of work which will directly result in a reduction in usage costs.
The leadership challenge
It is becoming increasingly challenging for leaders to understand if their monthly cloud expenditure is a fair reflection of their current application architecture, requirements and usage:
- Lack of visibility and/or understanding of the AWS bill
- Infrequent review of AWS costs
- Non-critical & development workloads that don’t scale to zero
- Changes in usage statistics that do not match the current provisioning profile
- Just need to reduce costs
Actionable value
The assessment outputs provide instant value:
- Full AWS service and account visibility
- Application requirements vs actual usage and spend score card
- Actionable insights aimed at reducing your ongoing spend
- Prioritised remediation recommendations
Recommendations may include:
- Changes to compute and datastore instance configuration
- Changes to storage tiering, following capacity & demand requirements
- Implementation of auto scaling to take advantage of AWS ‘on demand’ resources
- Provisioning of spot based allocation strategies
- Commencement of instance reservations, private pricing agreements, or compute savings plans
- Scheduling of non-prod environments to only run when required
- Pipelines to provision non-prod environments on demand
