Unlocking Cost Efficiency in AWS Infrastructure with Rapid Cloud AssessmentTransportation, Logistics, Supply Chain, and Storage

The client is a workforce compliance and digital credentialing platform serving high-risk industries like energy and construction. Their solution helps organizations verify worker credentials, manage compliance, and streamline onboarding across complex supply chains.

They managed high volumes of sensitive data and user accounts across multiple AWS environments. The client sought greater control and efficiency over its growing cloud infrastructure, which had become increasingly complex and potentially inefficient.

challenge

Fragmented Cloud Landscape
  • Over 10 AWS accounts/subscriptions were active; some unused or underutilized.
  • Lack of centralized visibility into resource usage across accounts.
Cost Uncertainty
  • No clear insight into whether infrastructure was optimally provisioned.
Internal Bandwidth Limitations
  • In-house infra team lacked bandwidth and deep specialization to assess optimization strategies in a fast-moving environment.
Scalability Concerns
  • Inefficient resource sizing and commitment plans could limit future scalability and cost predictability.

solution

1. Rapid Infrastructure Assessment
  • Deployed a Cloud Infrastructure Architect and DevOps Engineer to evaluate all 10 AWS accounts.
  • Used automation scripts previously built in-house to:
    • Accelerate account-level auditing.
    • Identify idle/underutilized instances.
    • Detect inconsistencies in resource sizing.
2. Intelligent Recommendations & Cost Optimization Strategy
    • Segmented accounts into 4 actively used and 6 dormant/low-activity environments.
    • Identified precise areas for improvement:
      • Recommended right-sizing EC2 instances
      • Advocated shift to Reserved Instances (RI) or Savings Plans for stable workloads.
      • Prioritized no-upfront payment options for lowest financial risk.
3. Automation Hand-Off
    • Delivered two custom accelerator scripts:
      • Cost Optimization Analyzer: Enables the client to periodically identify cost-saving opportunities autonomously.
      • Instance Shutdown Scheduler: Designed to pause workloads during off-peak hours to reduce spend.
  • Provided documentation to internal teams for seamless adoption and execution.
4. Strategic Financial Advisory
      • Presented two savings plan scenarios:
      • Option 1: No Upfront Commitment
        • Saves ~$4,000/month.
        • Zero capital lock-in.
      • Option 2: Full Upfront Commitment
        • Saves ~$5,000/month.
        • Requires ~$178,000 investment.
        • Marginal extra savings (~$1,000/month) did not justify the capital outlay.
        • Recommended Option 1
          for lower risk and faster ROI.

Outcomes

~16% Reduction in Monthly AWS Spend

  • From $31,000 to ~$26,000 with low-effort changes.
~50% Faster Assessment Completion
  • Delivered results in just 2–3 weeks (vs. 5-week estimate) using automation accelerators.
  • Immediate ROI
  • One-time consulting cost of $5,500 fully offset by savings in the first month.
  • Reusable Automation Tools
  • Internal infra team can now self-audit and optimize costs regularly without third-party dependency.
  • Scalable Cost Governance
  • Client can replicate the same audit model across future AWS accounts as their platform scales.
  • Actionable, Low-Effort Recommendations
  • Implementable without major infra changes or downtime.
