Enterprise-Wide AWS 45% Cost Optimization
Objectives
- Establish unified visibility across all AWS accounts.
- Identify and eliminate underutilized or idle resources.
- Standardize usage and optimization frameworks across teams
- Reduce monthly cloud spend through structured rightsizing.
- Enhance operational efficiency with automated analytics.
Overview
A large enterprise operating multiple AWS accounts—with a combined cloud spend of $1.8M per month—wanted to reduce operational expenses. Although the company used  Reserved Instances and Savings Plans, significant cost inefficiencies persisted across underutilized and overprovisioned resources.Â
Challenges
- Â Limited product-level cost visibility
- Difficulty identifying underutilized compute
- Â Significant EKS overprovisioning
- Lack of unified optimization framework
- Inability to quantify savings
Key Actions
- Rightsizing compute
- Â ASG reconfiguration
- Â EKS optimization
- Â Storage lifecycle improvements
- Â Removal of idle resourcesÂ
Use Case
The enterprise used tagging for cost allocation but lacked unified utilization analytics. MoreYeahs provided structured cost optimization across compute, storage, and EKS capacity.Â
Results
- Unused Resources: $18,000 / month
- Â Overprovisioned EKS Resources: $800,000 / month
- Â Storage Optimization: $5,000 / month
- Â Total Monthly Savings: $823,000 (~45%)Â
Impact
Savings of $823k/month and nearly $10M annually with a repeatable optimization framework.Â
Conclusion
MoreYeahs enabled sustainable, high-impact AWS cost optimization through structured analysis and rightsizing.Â
