Why Choose MicrocosmWorks for Cloud Cost Optimization?
Most companies overspend on cloud by 30-50% due to over-provisioned resources, unused instances, lack of reserved capacity planning, and architectural inefficiencies. Our FinOps practice combines technical optimization with financial governance to systematically reduce your cloud bill while maintaining or improving performance — delivering ROI that often pays for itself within the first month.
Our Cloud Cost Optimization Capabilities
- Cost Audit & Analysis — Comprehensive analysis of your cloud spending patterns, identifying waste, over-provisioning, and optimization opportunities.
- Resource Right-Sizing — Analyze utilization data to recommend optimal instance sizes, storage tiers, and database configurations that match actual demand.
- Reserved Instance Strategy — Design committed-use discount strategies balancing savings (up to 72%) against flexibility for your workload patterns.
- Spot/Preemptible Usage — Implement spot instance strategies for fault-tolerant workloads with proper fallback policies and interruption handling.
- Architecture Optimization — Redesign architectures to use serverless, managed services, and auto-scaling patterns that align cost with actual usage.
- Cost Governance — Implement tagging policies, budget alerts, team attribution, and approval workflows for resource provisioning.
- FinOps Culture — Establish FinOps practices including cost accountability, regular reviews, and engineer awareness of cloud spending impact.
FinOps Technology Stack
We use cloud-native cost tools (AWS Cost Explorer, GCP Billing, Azure Cost Management) alongside third-party platforms like Infracost, Kubecost, and custom dashboards built on Grafana. Our optimization scripts automate right-sizing recommendations, spot instance management, and unused resource cleanup. We integrate cost checks into CI/CD pipelines using Infracost to catch expensive changes before they deploy.
Who This Is For
This service is for any company spending more than $10K per month on cloud infrastructure that suspects they are overpaying. Whether you are a fast-growing startup with runaway cloud costs or an enterprise with complex multi-account billing, our FinOps experts find savings and implement controls that keep costs optimized long-term.

Frequently Asked Questions
FinOps is the practice of bringing financial accountability to cloud spending. MicrocosmWorks implements FinOps by establishing cost visibility with tagging and dashboards, optimizing resources, implementing commitment-based discounts, and creating governance policies across your cloud accounts.
Cloud FinOps consulting is available at $20-$40/hour, with engagements typically delivering 3-10x ROI through identified savings on compute, storage, networking, and licensing costs across AWS, Azure, or GCP.
Clients typically see 25-50% reduction in total cloud spending through our FinOps optimization, combining reserved capacity purchases, right-sizing, unused resource cleanup, storage tiering, and network egress optimization.
Yes, we implement cost allocation tagging strategies, build dashboards in native tools (AWS Cost Explorer, Azure Cost Management, GCP Billing) or third-party platforms like CloudHealth, and create showback/chargeback reports for engineering teams.
Absolutely. MicrocosmWorks implements automated policies for scheduling non-production resources, right-sizing recommendations, unused resource cleanup, storage lifecycle management, and budget alerts that prevent cost surprises before they impact your bottom line.
