FinOps & Cost Optimization

Reduce your cloud bill by 20-40% with right-sizing, reserved capacity, spot instances, and architecture changes — we share the savings.

Talk to a FinOps analyst

Overview

Most cloud bills are 30-50% higher than they need to be. Idle resources, oversized instances, missing reserved capacity, unattached EBS volumes, forgotten snapshots, and architectures that made sense at 10x smaller scale. The savings are sitting there — most teams just don't have time to find them.

CB4UHost's FinOps service finds and captures those savings. We start with a cost audit (typically finds 20-40% savings), then execute the fixes: right-size instances, buy reserved capacity, switch to spot where appropriate, delete unattached storage, and re-architect the worst offenders.

We offer two pricing models: fixed-fee for the audit + recommendations, or savings-shared (we take a % of confirmed savings over 12 months). Savings-shared means we only get paid if you actually save — aligned incentives.

Every engagement ends with a cost dashboard, ongoing monitoring (so the savings stick), and quarterly reviews to catch new waste as it appears.

What's included

Cost audit

Line-by-line audit of your cloud bill — compute, storage, network, support, data transfer.

Right-sizing

We identify oversized instances and downsize them — typically 15-25% of compute cost.

Reserved capacity

We model RI/Savings Plan purchases and execute — typically 20-40% off on-demand.

Spot migration

We identify workloads that can run on spot (batch, CI, stateless) and migrate them.

Storage cleanup

Unattached EBS volumes, old snapshots, wrong storage tiers — typically 10-20% of storage cost.

Architecture changes

We recommend architecture changes (e.g. Aurora Serverless, Fargate spot, storage class transitions) for bigger savings.

How we work

1

Cost audit

We pull 3-6 months of billing data and audit every line item.

2

Savings plan

We document every savings opportunity with expected $ impact and effort.

3

Execution

We execute the fixes — right-sizing, RI purchases, spot migration, storage cleanup.

4

Monitoring

We set up cost anomaly alerts and a cost dashboard so savings stick.

5

Quarterly reviews

We review costs quarterly and catch new waste as it appears.

FAQ

How much can we save?

Typically 20-40% of cloud spend. We've seen as high as 60% for clients who have never optimized. The audit will tell you the specific number for your environment.

How does savings-shared pricing work?

We audit for free, identify savings, and take a % of confirmed savings over the first 12 months. If we identify $10K/mo in savings and take 25%, you pay $2,500/mo and net $7,500/mo. If we find no savings, you pay nothing.

Will right-sizing hurt performance?

No — we right-size based on actual utilization (CPU, memory, network), not gut feel. If an instance is at 10% CPU, downsizing to half the size won't hurt performance. We monitor for 2 weeks after each change.

Do you handle reserved capacity purchases?

Yes — we model RI/Savings Plan scenarios, recommend the right commitment, and execute the purchase. We also model the commitment risk (what if your workload changes?) and recommend convertible RIs where appropriate.
