Problem

An organization had uncontrolled cloud spend growth with no visibility into per-team costs or idle resources.

Solution

Built FinOps dashboards, automated rightsizing recommendations, and implemented spot-instance strategies with graceful fallback.

Architecture

Cost Explorer + CUR data → Grafana dashboards per team → Rightsizing automation (Lambda) → Spot fleet with auto-fallback → Savings plan recommendations.

Outcome

Provided per-team cost accountability and reduced monthly spend through rightsizing, spot adoption, and idle resource elimination.

Key Highlights

  • Per-team FinOps dashboards with Cost Explorer + CUR data
  • Automated rightsizing recommendations via Lambda
  • Spot-instance strategy with graceful on-demand fallback
  • Savings plan recommendations for committed spend
