Cloud Cost Optimization for AWS & Azure
Find and remove cloud waste, reduce monthly AWS and Azure spend, and build better cost governance — without slowing down your engineering team.
Cloud bills rarely break because of one big mistake
Most cloud overspend comes from many small, reasonable-at-the-time decisions. Oversized instances, forgotten test environments, storage without lifecycle rules, log retention creep, idle databases, unused snapshots and weak tagging quietly add thousands of pounds a month.
IG CloudOps helps SaaS and technology businesses review, reduce and control AWS and Azure spend through practical, engineering-led cost optimization.
What we help with
Six focused service areas across AWS, Azure, assessment, governance, benchmarking and tooling.
AWS Cost Optimization
EC2, RDS, EBS, S3, Lambda, NAT Gateway and Savings Plans review.
Azure Cost Optimization
VMs, SQL, AKS, App Services, Reservations and Hybrid Benefit review.
Cloud Cost Assessment
Structured review of spend, waste patterns, tagging and governance.
Cost Governance
Reporting, budgets, ownership, tagging and approval controls.
Savings Calculator
Estimate potential AWS or Azure savings in a few minutes.
Cost Benchmarks
Compare your cloud cost maturity against practical benchmarks.
How a cloud cost review works
A practical, five-step process designed to surface savings safely.
Spend discovery
Review billing data, services, trends and account structure.
Waste analysis
Find obvious and hidden waste across compute, storage and more.
Engineering review
Check that proposed savings are technically safe.
Prioritised plan
Savings, effort, risk and owner — ranked for impact.
Governance setup
Controls so avoidable waste does not creep back in.
Estimate your potential cloud savings
A quick calculator that estimates AWS or Azure waste based on spend, environment type and common waste indicators — a useful starting point before a deeper review.
Use the savings calculatorSafe savings, not blunt cost-cutting
We separate safe quick wins from changes that need testing, monitoring or staged implementation — so cost reduction never damages performance, reliability or delivery speed.
