Four Connected Pillars of FinOps & Cost Optimization
We combine proactive architecture participation, continuous cost analysis, resell-backed FinOps benefits and AWS credits and discounts programs participation into a single value loop, delivering ongoing efficiency and measurable savings.
Architecting for Cloud Efficiency (Proactive FinOps)
“Control cost from the very beginning.”
We actively participate in your architecture and design reviews, embedding FinOps principles into every decision.
Architecting for Cloud Efficiency - Proactive FinOps
“Control cost from the very beginning.”
We actively participate in your architecture and design reviews, embedding FinOps principles into every decision.
We help you:
• Design workloads with cost, performance, and resilience trade-offs made visible.
• Adopt cost-optimized AWS services (Graviton, Spot, serverless, containers).
• Implement autoscaling and elasticity correctly from day one.
• Continuously modernize architecture for long-term efficiency.
Outcome:
You avoid unnecessary costs before deployment, not just react after.
AWS Cost Optimization Report - Continuous FinOps
“Understand, measure, and optimize - every month.”
Our Monthly FinOps Report combines automation, data, and expertise to uncover where money is spent, what can be saved, and how usage trends evolve.
It includes:
• Workload optimization: waste reduction, rightsizing, scaling, modernization.
• Rate optimization: Reserved Instances (RIs), Savings Plans (SPs), Spot, Enterprise Discount Program (EDP), and commitment management.
• Forecasting & planning: spend projections and budget control.
• Reporting & analytics: variance, anomaly, and efficiency tracking.
• Allocation insights: team, project, or customer cost visibility.
Deliverables:
• Executive Summary - business-focused overview for Finance.
• Cost Optimization Report - detailed recommendations and insights.
• FinOps Review Session - walkthrough with FinOps engineers.
• Action Plan Tracker - savings, effort, ownership.
Outcome: You are informed about identified waste, optimize rates, and track financial efficiency month after month.
AWS Resell Initiative - Value-Added Partnership
“FinOps benefits included - at no extra cost.”
Customers under our AWS Resell Program receive a monthly Cost Savings Report free of charge, providing a practical FinOps foundation from day one.
Included for Resell Customers:
• Monthly AWS Cost Savings Report - detailed recommendations for potential savings and rate optimizations.
• Usage & Forecasting Insights - clear overview of current usage trends and future cost projection, budget, and anomaly detection.
• Architecting for Cloud Sessions - review of workloads, optimization proposals, modernization opportunities.
• Ongoing FinOps Consultation - a continuous feedback loop between your engineers and our FinOps team.
Outcome:
You gain continuous cost visibility and expert guidance, embedded directly into your AWS billing relationship, no additional service contract required.
AWS Credits & Discount Programs
AWS offers a variety of funding programs designed to accelerate innovation, reduce cost barriers, and reward cloud adoption.
Examples include Proof-of-Concept (PoC) credits, which support small-scale projects (typically under $250K ARR) by covering up to 10% of the annual contract value. These initiatives help customers experiment, modernize, and expand their AWS footprint with minimal upfront investment.
As an AWS Advanced Consulting Partner, Several Clouds helps organizations identify, apply for, and secure AWS credits and discount programs. We manage the whole process, from eligibility assessment and evidence preparation to application submission and AWS follow-up, ensuring every qualified project receives the maximum available funding.
Outcome:
Verified eligibility, complete documentation, and successful access to AWS credits and discounts that directly support your cloud initiatives.
