Cloud Costs Optimization

Cloud processing and storage solutions are truly game-changing systems for dozens of businesses out there that get unprecedented scaling and cost-saving opportunities with cloud principles. But in order to achieve the required profitability of adopting cloud technologies, you must also properly manage and optimize cloud systems you are using (otherwise, lacking the required expertise, you may as well spawn new costs instead).

Tools and Technologies We Use

As a serious modern cloud migration company for business, we constantly implement modern cloud migration methods and use only the most effective and proven tools and technologies, as well as constantly monitor new ones and keep our eyes on the ball.

Cloud Providers

Amazon AWS, GCP, Microsoft Azure, Any Private Cloud and other…

The value of use lies in providing affordable and scalable access to services and IT computing resources. Your company gains access to services such as infrastructure, platforms and software.

Databases

MySQL, MongoDB, Amazon Aurora, PostgresSQL, Percona, Scylla DB, Clickhouse MariaDB, Oracle, MS SQL, InnoDB and other…

The value of tools is in creating the possibility of storing and accessing information. There is a systematic collection of data, they can be analyzed and their safety complies with all security policies.

Containers & Orchestration

Docker, Compose, Kubernetes and other…

These tools help streamline operations and reduce business costs, automate deployment, network impact, and improve security. It is planned to work on the basis of microservices in several clusters.

Service

RabbitMQ, Apache Kafka, Apache Cassandra, Redis, ELK stack, Istio, MinIO, Memcached, Kiali and other…

It will allow the synchronization of data between nodes and restore their states. Distributed database management, handles large amounts of information, and provides high availability without fail. Uses caching models.

CI/CD

Jenkins, GitLab, GitHub, Teamcity, CircleCI, Travis CI, Bitbucket pipelines, DroneCI, Flux, ArgoCD and other…

Helps to productively and fast deliver software. These tools will help alleviate and greatly speed up the process of getting projects to market. Provides a continuous flow of new functionality and supply code to production.

Monitoring

Prometheus, Datadog, Sentry, Grafana, PagerDuty, InfluxDB, Azure Monitor, Google Stackdriver, Amazon Cloudwatch and other…

These processes permit your company to use an organized system for assembling, analyzing and utilizing information to monitor program development for management solution making.

Configuration management

Ansible, Chef, Puppet and other...

These management tools help keep working computer systems, software, and servers in good working order. The process is necessary to make sure that the system works as supposed, taking into account modifications and updates.

Infrastructure provisioning

Terraform, Pulumi, AWS CloudFormation and other…

This setting helps to create, apply, administrate and automate infrastructure. These tools are needed when managing access to information and resources. This process is not a configuration step, but they are both necessary deployment steps.

Scope of Services

In order to cut costs in all the right places based on the project specifics, we treat every project individually, studying it far and wide and pinpointing the most profitable financial shortcuts. However, over the years of practice, we have formed the following essential stages that enable a smooth and subsequent workflow for any scope of work.

Technical audit

A thorough inspection of all underlying project elements, from the fundamental cloud architecture to external integrations and connections is the crucial kick-off stage for every project. This is where we get familiar with the specifics of your cloud platform and all involved software, auditing it inside-out. Once we get an in-depth picture of the whole cloud infrastructure, we can pinpoint the most relevant cloud cost optimization corners.

Utility and infrastructure services expenses monitoring

Cloud traffic limitations, data accumulation, and load balancing must be strictly monitored in order to maintain the stability of the system and avoid downtime occurrences. On top of that, cloud resource management equals cloud expenses management, which means regulating funds dedicated to maintaining the cloud system, keeping it optimized for profits. This is the major process of overall cost optimization cloud.

Infrastructure and services optimization

We plan out thorough optimization of the whole project infrastructure with all of its services based on the preliminary audit research and system monitoring efforts. This is what allows us to tackle the most individually proper points of cloud cost optimization. For instance, we can set proper traffic load caps according to traffic spike periods in order to autonomously save resources.

Project migration

Are you still running a cumbersome proprietary or legacy system that is slowly but gradually running out of space and performance resources? The timely scaling along with cloud cost optimization can be carried out with the help of system migration to the cloud environment. This will help scale the powers of the system and optimize resource consumption, cutting costs significantly.

Cloud Costs Optimization Stages

Fundamental cost optimization steps help you save money immediately after our cooperation. We have developed an improvement strategy and know how to reduce the cost of computing resources, remove the hidden positions of your excess costs and implement a culture of cost awareness.

Assessment of the current state

Our team determines the level of visibility and cost control. We take into account your knowledge of understanding the reasons for your increasing costs, agreed to safety standards, whether there is a use of automation, and the quality of monitoring to identify critical situations.

Strengthening

IT Outpost achieves transparency in your infrastructure, which helps you start strengthening your position within the company, eliminating waste, and starting standardization. We remove obsolete infrastructure, review security policy, identify your used features in the cloud to optimize costs.

Bringing to standards

Our experts define the operating environment for the infrastructure. Set the deployment method for work resources. We identify the right sample types to optimize costs, increase productivity. We also analyze information about your tools and structures to standardize the process.

Optimization

This stage will automate and improve your infrastructure. It takes advantage of the special characteristics of cloud structures. You already have a comprehensive understanding of the business system with the necessary techniques that make it easy to improve performance. You are already approaching the use of almost the full potential of your resources.

Support

After successfully completing stages, we help with the automatic increase in infrastructure, identify risks and create preventive measures to eliminate them. We also notify you of inefficient usage through flexible analytics. We implement a closed-loop process for continuous optimization.

Cloud Costs Optimization Benefits

Financial advantage

If your priorities are defined wisely and you use all your cloud resources, then your costs will decrease. Due to inefficient operations, you are wasting money. Therefore, we propose the use of the right strategies, technologies to optimize costs by reducing unnecessary costs.

Transparency of work processes

With cost optimization tools, you can see what’s going on in your workloads. Special focus on redundant resources and those that are underused. You also get a comprehensive understanding of each department, your products, and your costs.

More security

The main thing is to choose the right cost management methods, if you choose the wrong methods yourself, you will get more problems than benefits. It will also affect the cybersecurity of your business. But we use only approved techniques, to reduce data leakage.

Productivity increase

Using optimized cloud services makes you more efficient. We have many tools to improve workloads. Our team has competently built the use of techniques so that we leave the necessary instances, tasks and remove unnecessary ones. Thus, we focus on the right software.
