give me read access to a $50k/mo AWS bill and i'll show you where the first fifth is hiding. usually the same four places.
i've run this enough that the pattern is boring. data transfer nobody instruments, boxes sized for a load test two years ago, on-demand on a baseline that never moves, storage rotting in the priciest class.
the audit isn't a pitch before the work. the audit is the work.
