AWS Cloud Consulting Services

We audit your AWS bill, cut the waste, and right-size your architecture — most clients save 30–60% without breaking a thing. Senior engineering, honest numbers, USD-billed for global teams.

Cut the bill, keep the system

A metered cloud bill that climbs every quarter usually isn't a usage problem — it's a waste-and-lock-in problem. We find it and fix it.

AWS cloud consulting: a before bill of $50k/month cut by 70% to roughly $15k/month, with the rescue steps — audit AWS spend, kill waste and lock-in, right-size and add commitment plans, and report before/after dollars.

What we audit first

The usual suspects — where the money actually leaks on a large AWS bill. We start with the biggest one.

NAT gateway tax

Per-GB processing fees and idle gateways quietly add up to thousands a month. Usually the first thing we kill.

Idle & oversized EC2

Right-sized to real utilisation, not the number someone guessed at launch. The single biggest line item, almost always.

Reserved / Savings Plans

Commit on the steady-state base load you already run 24/7 — instant 30–60% off on-demand for zero engineering work.

S3 lifecycle & versions

Tier cold data, expire old versions, kill incomplete multipart uploads. Storage bills shrink without touching the app.

Cross-AZ & egress

The bill nobody reads. Data moving between your own services shouldn't cost a fortune — often it's an architecture fix.

Observability spend

Per-GB log ingestion becomes a second cloud bill. We cut it without losing the signal you actually need.

The six cost levers we audit first on a large AWS bill: NAT gateway tax, idle and oversized EC2, missing Reserved Instances and Savings Plans, S3 lifecycle, cross-AZ and egress, and observability spend.

This isn't guesswork — each lever maps to a teardown we've published. We've documented what we'd audit first on a $50K bill, the NAT gateway hidden tax, Savings Plans vs Reserved Instances, the S3 cost playbook, and how one team cut $120K/month. The work is real and the numbers are public.

How an engagement runs

Start free. Pay only when the savings are proven. No retainer to find out whether we can help.

The three-step engagement: a free 15-minute bill review, then a fixed-fee Bill Rescue Audit with a before/after savings plan, then an optional Cloud Escape migration on a retainer.

The guarantee: if the Bill Rescue Audit doesn't find savings worth its fee, you don't pay for it. We quantify savings honestly — a number we can't stand behind is a number we don't quote.

Where we fit (and where we don't)

We're not for everyone, and pretending otherwise wastes your time.

A strong fit if you…
  • Run real, steady-state production workloads on AWS and the bill keeps climbing.
  • Got a surprise invoice and need someone to find the leaks fast, with proof.
  • Want senior eyes on architecture — not a tool that just shows you charts.
  • Prefer to own the fix (and the savings) rather than rent another SaaS dashboard.
Probably not us if you…
  • Spend under a few thousand a month — the audit won't pay for itself yet.
  • Want a self-serve cost tool, not a hands-on engagement.
  • Need a badge-partner reseller rather than an independent, honest audit.

Straight answers on cost

The questions everyone asks before they hire — answered up front.

What does an AWS consultant do?

An AWS consultant audits your account for waste and risk, right-sizes compute and storage, applies the correct commitment plans, fixes costly architecture (NAT gateways, egress, observability), and reports the before/after spend. The goal is a lower, predictable bill without breaking what works.

How much can I save on my AWS bill?

Most clients save 30–60% on a steady-state bill, depending on how much waste has accumulated. Reserved Instances and Savings Plans alone often cut on-demand spend 30%+ for zero engineering work; right-sizing and architecture fixes do the rest.

How long does an AWS audit take?

The free 15-minute review is same-week. A full Bill Rescue Audit — a fixed-scope teardown with a before/after savings plan — typically takes one to two weeks depending on account size.

Do you need access to our AWS account?

For the free review, a Cost Explorer export or read-only Billing access is enough. For the full audit we use a scoped, read-only IAM role — we never make changes to your live production environment without explicit, per-change approval.

What does AWS consulting cost?

The 15-minute bill review is free. The Bill Rescue Audit is a fixed fee, and the guarantee is simple: if it doesn't find savings worth its fee, you don't pay it. Ongoing Cloud Escape migrations are billed on a retainer. All engagements are quoted in USD.

Start with a free 15-minute bill review

Send us a Cost Explorer export or read-only billing access and we'll name your biggest leaks on the call — no obligation. If a full audit makes sense, we'll scope it; if it won't pay for itself, we'll tell you that too.
