About This Solution

Cloud computing promised cost savings, but for many organizations the reality has been the opposite: spiraling bills, unpredictable spikes, and a nagging feeling that you are paying for resources nobody is using. At Cozcore, our Cloud Cost Optimization solution brings financial accountability to your cloud infrastructure, typically reducing monthly spend by 25-40% while maintaining or improving performance.

Our FinOps-certified engineers conduct a thorough analysis of your cloud environment across compute, storage, networking, and managed services. We identify idle resources, oversized instances, missed discount opportunities, and architectural patterns that are silently inflating your bill. But we do not just hand you a report and walk away. We implement the optimizations, set up automated governance to prevent waste from creeping back, and establish a FinOps culture that keeps your teams accountable for the resources they consume.

The organizations that benefit most from this service are those spending $10,000 or more per month on cloud infrastructure, though we have found significant savings for companies at every scale. Whether you are running on AWS, Azure, GCP, or a multi-cloud environment, our tooling and expertise cover all major providers. The typical engagement pays for itself within the first two months through realized savings, making this one of the highest-ROI investments in your technology organization.

Who This Solution Is For

This solution is designed for organizations that match these profiles

Growing companies whose cloud bill has increased faster than their revenue, and who suspect they are paying for resources that are oversized, underutilized, or entirely unused.

Engineering leaders who lack visibility into what drives their cloud costs and cannot accurately allocate spending to specific teams, products, or customers.

Organizations that migrated to the cloud via lift-and-shift and have not yet optimized their architecture for cloud-native cost efficiency.

Finance and operations teams that need predictable, budgetable cloud spending with automated guardrails to prevent bill surprises.

Target Audience

Built for the people and teams who need it most

Cloud Cost Optimization - Frequently Asked Questions

How much can we realistically save on our cloud bill?
Based on our experience across dozens of cloud optimization engagements, most organizations save between 25% and 40% of their monthly cloud spend. The exact amount depends on your current optimization maturity. Companies that have never performed a systematic optimization typically see savings on the higher end (35-40%), while those with some existing practices in place might see 20-30%. We provide a free initial assessment that estimates your savings potential before you commit to a full engagement. In every case, our fee is designed to be recouped within the first two months of realized savings.
Will cost optimization affect our application performance?
No. In fact, many optimizations actually improve performance. Right-sizing instances means replacing oversized general-purpose instances with properly sized compute-optimized or memory-optimized instances that better match your workload. Adding caching layers reduces database load and improves response times. Implementing auto-scaling ensures you have the right amount of capacity at the right time rather than over-provisioning for peak load 24/7. We never recommend a change that would degrade performance, and every optimization is tested and monitored before and after implementation to verify that service levels are maintained or improved.
Do you support multi-cloud environments?
Yes. We optimize across AWS, Azure, and GCP, and many of our clients run workloads on multiple providers. Our tooling provides unified visibility across all cloud accounts and providers, allowing us to identify optimization opportunities that span environments. For multi-cloud clients, we also evaluate whether certain workloads would be more cost-effective on a different provider and can recommend strategic placement decisions. Our Terraform-based infrastructure management ensures consistent governance policies across all providers.
How do you prevent costs from creeping back up after optimization?
This is the most critical aspect of sustainable cost management, and it is where most one-time optimization efforts fail. We implement automated governance that runs continuously: budget alerts that trigger before overspending occurs, scheduled scaling policies that reduce capacity during off-peak hours, automated cleanup of idle resources, tagging enforcement that ensures every resource is allocated to a team and project, and monthly cost review reports that highlight anomalies. We also establish a FinOps practice within your organization, training your team to think about cloud costs as a shared responsibility rather than an afterthought.
What is the difference between right-sizing and reserved instances?
Right-sizing is about matching the instance type and size to your actual workload requirements. For example, if your application uses only 15% of a large instance CPU, we would recommend a smaller instance that costs less while providing sufficient capacity. Reserved instances (or savings plans) are about commitment-based discounts: you commit to a certain amount of usage over one or three years in exchange for a 30-60% discount compared to on-demand pricing. Both strategies are complementary and we implement them together for maximum savings. Right-sizing first ensures you are not committing to pay for oversized resources at a discount.
Can you help us set up cost allocation and chargeback?
Absolutely. Cost allocation and chargeback are fundamental to building accountability for cloud spending. We implement a comprehensive tagging strategy that allocates every cloud resource to a team, project, and environment. We then configure cost allocation reports that break down spending by these dimensions, making it clear which teams and services are driving costs. For organizations with internal chargeback models, we set up automated reporting that feeds into your finance systems. This transparency alone often drives 10-15% cost reduction as teams become aware of and accountable for their resource consumption.
