Challenge

As a platform-based company, the client faced unique challenges when it came to cloud costs. Acquisitions often resulted in a complex mix of inherited infrastructure, and while cloud migration promises efficiency gains, it could quickly spiral out of control without proper governance.

Solution

We deployed an automated governance tool that enforces best practices across all aspects of the Cloud Well-Architected Framework (WAF). Cloud cost visibility dashboards on Azure and AWS provided a clear picture of their cloud spend. A well-defined tagging strategy facilitated accurate showback and chargeback reporting. Defined budgets and cost alerts ensured alignment with financial goals and proactive cost management. We conducted a thorough assessment to identify areas for improvement and create a roadmap for continuous optimization.
