Yes – the AWS Cloud Cost Review is completely free and there’s no obligation to work with us afterwards; It is sponsored by AWS in order to help users stay on their platform. We simply show you how to use their tools and, if it makes sense, we can talk about ongoing support.
Our collaboration with AWS allows us to offer funding programs that reduce financial risks associated with cloud adoption and AI initiatives. This partnership accelerates implementation while ensuring security and scalability.
We work read-only wherever possible and only make configuration changes (like setting up cost-saving tools) live on the call with your approval or with your explicit consent.
We typically use a temporary IAM role with least-privilege access to billing and cost tools which you can revoke just as the session is finishing.
Most sessions take 30–45 minutes and work best when someone who owns the AWS bill joins (e.g. Head of Engineering, DevOps/Platform lead, or FinOps/Finance partner).
No – the review stands on its own; if we both see a good fit, we can optionally discuss moving under our AWS billing model (with potential 5% off of your AWS bill) but that’s entirely your choice.
Yes – many teams have the tools partially set up; we focus on tightening configuration, surfacing missed idle/oversized resources, and turning noise into a clear, prioritised actions list.
