Eliminating Waste in Enterprise Cloud Infrastructure
Over 35% of cloud expenditure in modern companies is completely wasted on over-provisioned compute instances, unattached EBS storage volumes, and unoptimized network egress.
Actionable FinOps Strategies
1. Right-Sizing Compute: Switching from generic instances to modern Graviton (ARM-based) instances for a 20% cost reduction and 40% performance gain.
2. Leveraging Savings Plans & Spot Instances: Applying compute savings plans for baseline workloads and Spot instances for asynchronous background workers.
3. Aggressive Caching with CloudFront & Redis: Offloading database reads to in-memory Redis and static assets to global CDNs to prevent redundant compute cycles.
