Sample Savings Report

A diagnostic should leave you with a real artifact, not vague optimism.

Review the format and decision quality you should expect from a real SkySaver diagnostic: prioritized findings, implementation notes, and a clear recommended next step.

Top Opportunity: Non-Production Compute & Legacy Architecture

~$12,000/mo savings potential

🔍 Prioritized Findings

Idle & Underutilized EC2 / RDS Instances

Est. Savings: $8,500/mo
Observation Dev/QA environments run 24/7. Several RDS instances are over-provisioned (<10% CPU) and Multi-AZ in non-prod.
Action Implement tag-based scheduling (off 7 PM - 7 AM, weekends). Downsize non-prod RDS to Single-AZ.

CloudWatch Logs Ingestion & Retention

Est. Savings: $3,200/mo
Observation High-volume debug logs ingested into CloudWatch Standard with "Never Expire" retention.
Action Set explicit 30-day retention. Transition high-volume debug logs to Infrequent Access (IA) or stream to S3.

Unattached Resources & Storage Waste

Est. Savings: $4,100/mo
Observation 45 unattached Elastic IPs, 2.5 TB of unattached active EBS volumes (gp2/gp3), and legacy snapshots older than 2 years.
Action Release unattached EIPs. Archive needed EBS volume data to S3, delete the volumes, and implement DLM.

Network Data Transfer & NAT Gateways

Est. Savings: $2,500/mo
Observation Private subnet EC2s route massive S3 and DynamoDB traffic through NAT Gateways, incurring heavy data processing charges.
Action Deploy VPC Gateway Endpoints for S3 and DynamoDB to route traffic locally at no additional bandwidth cost.

Architecture Modernization

Est. Savings: $3,000/mo
Observation Fleet relies heavily on older x86 instances (e.g., t2, m5) with higher hourly costs.
Action Migrate eligible stateless workloads and RDS to AWS Graviton (m7g, t4g) for 20% price-performance gain.

🚀 Recommended Roadmap

Phase 1 (Weeks 1-2): Quick Wins & Cleanup

Release unattached IPs, delete unattached volumes, set log retentions, and deploy VPC endpoints.

Phase 2 (Weeks 3-4): Compute Optimization

Implement tag-based scheduling for non-prod environments and right-size underutilized RDS instances.

Phase 3 (Ongoing): Fractional CloudOps

Establish monthly reviews, enforce tag policies via AWS Config, and begin phased Graviton testing.
