FinOps & Cloud Cost Optimization

Why Cloud Cost Optimization?

Cloud spending easily spirals out of control without deep visibility and strict governance. Many organizations find themselves paying for over-provisioned resources, unattached disks, and sub-optimal license paradigms. As a Solution Architect with deep FinOps experience, I bridge the gap between financial accountability and engineering velocity.

What My Service Includes

• Comprehensive Audit: Deep dive into Azure & AWS billing to identify orphaned resources, underutilized instances, and untagged infrastructure.
• Architectural Right-Sizing: Strategic downsizing or family-changing of VMs, databases, and Kubernetes nodepools without sacrificing performance or High Availability.
• Commitment Discounts & Licensing: Implementation of Reserved Instances (RIs), Savings Plans, Azure Hybrid Benefit, and Spot instances for non-production workloads.
• Governance & Guardrails: Creating automated reporting, budget alerts, and mandatory resource tagging policies via Azure Policy and AWS Service Control Policies.
