AWS Cost Optimisation in Dundee
Reducing AWS spend for Dundee organisations, where the order of operations matters more than the techniques. Commitments and reserved capacity are the visible lever and the wrong first move — buying a discount on infrastructure you should not be running locks in the waste for a year rather than removing it.
Why this comes up
The problem
A savings plan was purchased across the whole estate, including instances that should have been switched off.
What you get
What we deliver
- Orphaned resources removed first, since these are pure waste with no trade-off
- Instances right-sized against measured utilisation rather than original sizing
- Non-production environments scheduled to stop outside working hours
- Storage moved to appropriate classes based on how it is genuinely accessed
- Data transfer examined, as this is frequently a large and unexplained line
- Commitments purchased last, against the estate you have decided to keep

AWS Cost Optimisation in Dundee — common questions
- Why buy commitments last?
- Because they lock in your current shape. Committing to a level of spend before removing waste means paying for a discounted version of infrastructure you were about to switch off — and the term keeps you there for a year or more.
- What are the easiest savings?
- Unattached volumes, idle load balancers, forgotten snapshots and environments nobody has used for months. They involve no trade-off at all, they are quick to find, and in most estates they account for more than people expect.
- Is scheduling non-production worth it?
- Considerably. Development and test environments running continuously are paid for around the clock while being used during working hours, so stopping them overnight and at weekends removes roughly two thirds of their cost with no practical effect.
- Why does data transfer matter?
- Because it accumulates invisibly. Traffic between availability zones, out to the internet and through gateways is charged per gigabyte, and an architecture that moves data more than it needs to produces a bill nobody can attribute to any particular decision.
- Do you work with businesses across Dundee City?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout Scotland, including Dundee and the surrounding Dundee City area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Dundee businesses do you usually work with?
- Interactive and games-adjacent development, plus life sciences data systems tied to the university research base. Beyond that we work across Games & Digital, Life Sciences, Higher Education, Healthcare and Marine.
- Do you cover the areas around Dundee?
- Yes — we work throughout Scotland, including Perth, Aberdeen, Edinburgh. Dundee is an urban area of roughly 150,000+, and we take on work across the wider Dundee City region rather than the city boundary alone.
