SustainedCloudCloud Cost Consulting
A FinOps-style review of where your cloud spend actually goes. We find the idle resources, the oversized instances, and the forgotten services. And hand you a bill that's smaller next month.
When you need this
Sound familiar?
- The cloud bill has doubled since the setup, and nobody can say why.
- Someone spun up resources for a project that ended a year ago. They still run.
- Finance asks what you actually get for the monthly cloud invoice, and there is no good answer.
- Every cleanup helps for a month or two, then the number creeps back up.
Why it matters
Cloud spend creeps because no one owns it. Until the invoice forces someone to. A structured review usually pays for itself in the first month.
How it works
The service, explained.
Find where the money actually goes
We audit your cloud bill line by line and surface the idle resources, oversized instances, and forgotten services quietly charging you every hour. You get a concrete list of cuts with the saving on each one quantified.
Savings that usually cover the review
Cloud spend creeps because no single person owns it until the invoice forces the question. A structured review typically finds enough waste in the first month to pay for itself, and we point out where reserved or committed-use pricing is worth it.

FAQ
Common questions.
Which cloud providers do you cover?
The big public clouds and the European providers alike. The method is the same everywhere: put the usage data, the resource inventory, and the pricing model side by side and find where they disagree.
Do you need access to our production systems?
No. Billing and usage data is enough, and read-only at that. Nothing changes during the review; the cut list is only executed once you have approved it.
What if the review finds nothing?
Then you have it in writing that your environment is clean, which is worth something to whoever pays the invoice. In practice, the first idle resources usually surface on day one.
Is this a one-time review or an ongoing service?
The review is a one-off project. Keeping the number down permanently is what Cloud Optimization is for as an ongoing service. Many clients run the review first and decide afterwards.
