AWS Cost & Reliability Audit
Most AWS environments hide 15–35% cost inefficiency. This audit identifies exactly where.
Identify hidden AWS waste and reliability risks in your infrastructure.
20 minutes. No prep required. We can usually tell quickly whether an audit is worth doing.
What we uncover
Common issues we uncover
Typical patterns the audit is designed to identify quickly.
| Finding | Typical Impact |
|---|---|
| EC2 underutilization | 20–40% waste |
| Savings Plans coverage gaps | 10–30% waste |
| Idle storage retention | Silent cost |
| NAT gateway misuse | $500–$2k/month |
| DB overprovisioning | Persistent waste |
Why this is different
Why dashboards don’t solve this
Cost tooling is useful for visibility. It does not replace architectural judgment.
| Tools | Limitation |
|---|---|
| Cost Explorer | Shows cost movement, not what to change first |
| Trusted Advisor | Useful checks, but generic and context-light |
| CloudHealth | Excellent visibility, still requires interpretation |
These tools surface data. This audit evaluates infrastructure decisions.
