Cloud Optimisation
Avoid spiralling cloud costs without compromising on quality
Trim mounting cloud costs without noticeably harming performance
Public cloud providers like AWS, Azure and Google Cloud offer a superb range of services. But, if you’re not extremely careful, their bills can escalate.
My cloud bill didn’t use to be this large!
We know. It’s a common problem. Some of the rise may be unavoidable, due to electricity price increases. But some may be optional. You just have to adjust your cloud setup. That’s where Syntura’s cloud experts can help.

FAQs
How can you cut public cloud costs?
Shrink underutilised instances, switch to cheaper spot, on-demand or reserve instances where sensible, use scheduling to shut down things when they’re not needed, and move infrequently accessed files to cheaper storage tiers. These are just a few of the ways.
Can we save money without hurting performance?
Probably. Some savings don’t impact performance at all. Others – such as rightsizing instances – do, but with care users generally won’t notice. You can implement mitigations such as autoscaling.
How much could we save by optimising our cloud?
It’s complicated. It depends on how well your cloud is optimised, which cloud you’re using, what you’re contractually committed to and your usage patterns.
Is cloud optimisation solely about cost cutting?
If you prefer, optimisation can be focused more on improving performance, such as by re-architecting, optimising instance types, adding caching, autoscaling or load balancing. You can save money in some areas and spend it in others.
