About this Gig

I audit cloud bills for a living, not as a side interest. At OYO I run 120+ node production Kubernetes across AWS, Azure and GCP.


WHAT I HAVE ACTUALLY DONE


  • Cut 15,000 USD/month (about 180,000 a year) across 26 AWS accounts, zero service impact
  • Cut 50 percent on a 90-instance Redis fleet by migrating it
  • Upgraded Prometheus off a 2021 build with zero downtime


WHAT YOU GET


A report saying what you spend, what you can stop spending, and the risk of each change, in the order I would do them. A dollar figure on every line.


WHERE THE MONEY USUALLY IS


  • Non-production sized like production
  • Resources orphaned after a migration
  • Instances sized on a guess and never revisited
  • Data transfer and egress, always underestimated
  • Commitment coverage that misses baseline usage
  • Spend nobody can attribute, so nobody owns


WHAT I NEED


Read-only billing access only. AWS: read-only IAM role, or Cost Explorer plus CUR. Azure: Cost Management Reader. No workload, data or production access.


WHAT I WILL NOT DO


Recommend a change I cannot explain the risk of. Cost work that causes an incident is not a saving.
