The challenge
Cloud spend grows without a clear view of which workloads are responsible. Teams need to reduce waste while protecting the services their customers rely on.
The approach
Establish ownership and cost baselines, investigate idle and oversized resources, then make low-risk changes in stages. Review commitments only after understanding demand.
How success would be measured
Track cost per workload or customer alongside latency, errors and recovery requirements. Separate one-off reductions from recurring savings.
Controls from the start
Staged changes, performance monitoring, verified resource ownership and a documented rollback path.
