Services

One audit, then a standing watch on the bill

Everything below is advisory. We read your cost and usage data through a scoped, white-labeled IAM role — we never get keys, console access, or the ability to change anything in your account.

The audit

A 10-point pass, prioritized by dollar impact

Every engagement starts here. We connect a read-only, cross-account role, sync your cost and usage data, and run the full checklist below.

Full cost breakdown by service, account, and region
Compute Optimizer rightsizing opportunities
CloudTrail event history review
IAM Access Analyzer findings
GuardDuty security findings relevant to spend
Unattached EBS volumes
Region sprawl across your account
IAM roles by last activity
Tagging compliance for cost allocation
AWS billing credits — anything expiring within 90 days flagged high priority

Boundaries, on purpose

What we do
  • Read cost, usage, and configuration data via a scoped IAM role
  • Recommend rightsizing, Reserved Instances, and Savings Plans
  • Track AWS Activate credit expiry so you don't lose them
  • Flag security and tagging issues that affect cost visibility
What we don't do
  • Make changes inside your AWS account
  • Hold production credentials or console access
  • Recommend spot instances unless you've confirmed interruptible workloads

Next step

Most Activate credits we've seen expire quietly, unflagged. Start with a discovery call.
