Bringing cloud spend under clear ownership
Multi-product company · AWS and GCP · shared Kubernetes clusters
The cloud bill grew every quarter, but nobody could say which product or team drove it, and savings efforts stalled after one clean-up.
The challenge
Where things stood.
- Untagged resources and shared clusters hid cost owners.
- Commitment discounts bought without usage evidence.
- Anomalies discovered on the invoice, weeks late.
Our approach
How we would solve it.
- 01
Make cost visible
Tagging standards, allocation for shared clusters and showback dashboards per product.
- 02
Remove the obvious waste
Rightsizing, idle clean-up and scheduling for non-production environments.
- 03
Commit with evidence
Commitment planning based on measured baseline usage.
- 04
Keep it running
Anomaly alerts and a monthly cost review with named owners.
Deliverables
What the client receives.
Services involved:
- Allocation model and tagging policy
- Showback dashboards by product and team
- Rightsizing and commitment recommendations
- Monthly FinOps review cadence
Outcomes
What success looks like.
- Every major cost line has an owner
- Anomalies alert within a day
- Commitments match measured usage
- Savings hold beyond the first clean-up
