Cloud cost optimisation on AWS: where the easy wins really are

DevNex Platform Team 28 April 2026 6 min read

Most AWS bills have 20–35% of fat in them. Not because teams are careless — but because cost is rarely a first-class signal in day-to-day engineering.

In this guide we share the high-leverage actions our FinOps audits surface most often: right-sizing, savings plans, storage tier shifts, idle environment cleanup, and architectural changes.

We will also explain the cultural piece: tagging, dashboards and incentives that keep your bill optimised after the consultants leave.
