Cloud FinOps Use Case

AWS rightsizing recommendations and execution

Surface over-provisioned EC2 and RDS from Compute Optimizer, enrich with CloudWatch utilization, and execute approved downsizes under governance.

Expected outcome

Rightsizing brief with instance-level evidence, projected monthly savings, performance risk rating, and an approval-gated execution path for each recommendation.

Best fit teams

Platform engineers, SREs, and FinOps leads responsible for compute efficiency.

Typical delivery package

  • Rightsizing candidates ranked by monthly savings potential.
  • CPU and memory utilization averages from the CloudWatch lookback period.
  • Recommended target instance type with performance risk rating from Compute Optimizer.
  • Governed execution: stop → resize → start with HITL approval and savings verification.

Starter prompt
