Cut Your AWS Bill Without Slowing Down

Almost every audit I run finds the same low-risk wins. None of them require architecture changes, and together they usually clear 25–35%.

  • Rightsize first. Anything averaging under 20% CPU for a month drops a size. No exceptions, no meetings.
  • Graviton where it fits. Most stateless services move with a rebuild and run ~20% cheaper.
  • Lifecycle your storage. S3 Intelligent-Tiering plus 90-day transitions clear the forgotten-bucket tax.
  • Kill the zombies. Unattached EBS, idle load balancers, old snapshots — tag owners, wait two weeks, delete.

Takeaway: rightsizing, Graviton, and storage lifecycles clear 25–35% with zero architecture risk.
