What it is
Cloud bills grow quietly. Rozell’s cost optimization service finds the spend that is not doing anything for you, removes it safely, and puts the visibility and guardrails in place so it does not come back. It is the fastest, lowest-risk way to start working with us, and it often pays for the next project.
What you get
- A cost audit with a line-by-line breakdown of what you pay for, what it does, and what can go.
- A prioritized savings plan with estimated monthly impact and risk for each change.
- Safe implementation: rightsizing, scheduling, storage lifecycle policies, reservation and savings plan purchases, and architecture changes where they pay off.
- Visibility for your team: tagging standards, budgets, anomaly alerts, and a dashboard that answers “what did we spend and why.”
- A governance routine: a monthly review that keeps costs aligned with usage as the business grows.
How an engagement runs
- Read-only access and data pull (days). We connect to Cost Explorer and your inventory through a role you control.
- Audit and plan (1–2 weeks, fixed price). A written report and a savings plan you can act on with or without us.
- Implement (1–3 weeks). We make the changes in your account with your approval, one at a time, with rollback paths.
- Govern (optional retainer). Monthly reviews and alerts so savings stick.
Who it’s for
- Any company spending more than a few thousand dollars a month on AWS without a dedicated FinOps function.
- Startups whose bill has grown faster than their revenue.
- Teams that inherited an AWS account and are not sure what everything is for.
- Finance leaders who want a clear, defensible view of cloud spend.
Common questions
How much can we realistically save?
Most accounts we review have 20–40% of spend that can be removed without any change to what users experience — idle resources, oversized instances, missing reservations, unlifecycled storage, and data transfer that could be avoided. The audit tells you the number for your account before you commit to anything.
What access do you need for an audit?
Read-only access to Cost Explorer, CloudWatch and the resource inventory, granted through a role you control and can revoke. We never need write access to audit.
Is this a one-time project or ongoing?
The audit is a fixed-price project. Keeping costs down is ongoing work, because teams keep creating resources, so many clients add a light monthly review to the retainer. We also build budgets, alerts and tagging so your own team can see spend clearly.
Do you take a percentage of savings?
No. We charge a fixed price for the audit and a fixed monthly fee for ongoing governance, so our advice is never shaped by how the fee is calculated.
