FAQ
How much can I save?
Most environments I review see 15–20% reduction without reliability trade-offs; the exact number depends on current waste.
Is this a one-off or ongoing?
Both — a one-off optimization sprint, or ongoing FinOps governance with dashboards and alerts.
Will optimization risk stability?
No — I prioritize safe, reversible changes implemented as code, preserving reliability and security controls.
Do you cover Graviton and Spot?
Yes — Graviton migration where compatible and Spot for fault-tolerant workloads, with autoscaling tuned to demand.
