Sample Audit Results
Savings Breakdown
Problem Indicators
Bills Growing Faster Than Revenue
Cloud costs increasing faster than business usage or value can indicate unnecessary spending.
No Visibility Into Spend
Teams struggle to determine what is driving costs or which teams are responsible for the largest spend.
Not Using Commitments
Organizations relying entirely on on-demand pricing may be missing Reserved Instance and Savings Plan discounts.
Development Environments Always On
Development, staging, and testing environments may remain active around the clock despite being used primarily during business hours.
No Right-Sizing Strategy
Instances may be provisioned for peak capacity even though their average utilization is below 20%.
No FinOps Culture
Engineers may deploy infrastructure without cost awareness and teams may lack accountability for cloud spending.
Common Waste
Oversized instances
Compute resources operating at approximately 10–20% utilization.
Unattached storage
EBS volumes and snapshots that are not associated with active instances.
Unused Reserved Instances
Reserved capacity that does not align with current workloads.
Development environments running 24/7
Development and test infrastructure running during nights and weekends.
Old-generation instance types
Previous-generation instances that may cost more than newer alternatives.
Cross-AZ data transfer
Potentially unnecessary traffic between availability zones.
