- Cost audit first: Cost optimization starts with a comprehensive review of your AWS bill, identifying patterns, idle resources, and over-provisioned instances. It helps to find out exactly where your money is being spent unnecessarily.
- Right-sizing support: Choosing instance types, storage, and database settings based on actual usage instead of estimates.
- Spot & Reserved strategy: Moving predictable, non-critical workloads to spot and reserved instances to significantly reduce costs.
- Automation-driven savings: We set up auto-scaling, scheduled scaling, and resource scheduling so that costs stay optimized continuously.
Cloud Solitaire AWS & Cloud Cost Optimization Services
Comprehensive Cost Analysis & Auditing
Cloud Solitaire reviews your entire AWS footprint, such as EC2, EKS, RDS, DynamoDB, S3, and CloudWatch usage, to identify idle resources, over-provisioned instances and storage, unnecessary data transfer costs, and expensive third-party services that can be replaced. We also plan reserved instances for workloads with predictable usage.
Hence, you will know exactly where every penny is being spent before any changes are made.
Smart Instance Management
We make the best use of computing resources by using spot instances for non-critical tasks, moving to ARM-based instances when possible, and implementing auto-scaling with scheduled adjustments.
Therefore, you stop paying full price for capacity that sits idle overnight.
Database & Storage Optimization
We can help you reduce your storage and database costs by migrating to more cost-effective database solutions, implementing proper data lifecycle policies, optimizing backup and snapshot strategies, and matching storage classes to the type of data being stored.
This helps to build a centralized logging infrastructure, so that the retained data isn't costing more than it needs to.
Monitoring Cost Reduction
We help to replace expensive monitoring solutions with open-source alternatives like Prometheus, Grafana, and Elasticsearch, paired with custom alerting, custom logging, and optimized data retention policies.
How Cloud Solitaire Manages AWS Cost Optimization
Our core follows 4 steps:
Audit → Right-Size → Automate → Monitor
- Audit: We audit your entire AWS infrastructure to identify underutilized resources, over-provisioned instances, unnecessary data transfer costs, and third-party tools that are costing more than they should.
- Right-Size (or Restructure): We match instance types, storage classes, and database settings to how they are actually used. For predictable workloads, we plan for reserved instances. For non-critical workloads, we use spot instances instead.
- Automate: Auto-scaling, scheduled scaling, and resource management are set up. Therefore, there will be no need for manual review.
- Monitor: We keep track of costs with centralized logging, custom alerts, and open-source monitoring tools. This way, we can see cost increases on a dashboard instead of waiting until the end of the billing cycle.
