I will audit your AWS bill and security and cut cloud costs
About this Gig
Your AWS bill keeps growing and nobody has time to dig into why. I'll find the waste, show you exactly what it costs you, and fix it.
Real results: at a dental-tech company I consolidated three AWS accounts into one, then cut the remaining account's bill by 38%.
What I look for:
- Idle or oversized EC2, RDS and ElastiCache
- Commitment discounts that fit how you actually run
- S3 storage tiers and lifecycle rules
- Bastion hosts that can be replaced with SSM (cheaper and more secure)
- Runaway costs like Athena results, logs and snapshots, plus alarms so they don't return
You get a report ranked by dollars saved per month, with the effort and risk of each change. Standard and Premium include implementation. Nothing changes without your approval.
Premium adds a security review: IAM, security groups, public exposure, logging and alarms.
Read-only IAM access is all I need for the audit. Message me with your monthly AWS spend and main services before ordering, and I'll give you an honest estimate.
Cloud provider:
Amazon Web Services
FAQ
Do you need admin access to my AWS account?
No. A read-only IAM role is enough for the audit. For implementation, I use a scoped role you approve. Please never send root credentials or access keys in chat.
How much will I save?
It depends on your setup, so I don't promise a fixed percentage. Message me with your monthly spend and main services and I'll give you an honest estimate before you order.
Will you make changes to my account?
Basic is report-only. In Standard and Premium, I only make changes you approve, and I keep a written change log with a rollback plan for each one.
Will anything go down?
Quick wins are chosen to avoid downtime. Anything riskier, like resizing a production database, is flagged separately and scheduled with you in a maintenance window.
What does the security review cover?
IAM users, roles and policies, security groups, publicly exposed resources, logging and alarms. It's a practical security review, not a formal compliance audit like SOC 2 or HIPAA.
Can you review multiple AWS accounts?
Yes. Premium covers multi-account setups and AWS Organizations. For a large environment, message me first and I'll send a custom offer.
What do I get at the end?
A written report of findings ranked by monthly savings, a live call to walk through it, and, in Standard and Premium, a change log of everything I implemented.
Do you work with Azure or Google Cloud?
This gig is AWS only. That's where my production experience is, so it's where I can promise real results.
Do you work with Azure or Google Cloud?
Yes. My production experience is mainly AWS, which is what this gig is built around, but I can also review Azure and Google Cloud environments. Message me first so we can scope it, and I'll send a custom offer.
