storage is rarely the biggest line. it's the easiest free money on the bill.
two moves, different in kind. tier it down — S3 lifecycle or intelligent-tiering ages cold data to cheaper classes. standard $0.023 vs deep archive ~$0.001 is 20x on the same bytes. that's recurring savings.
then delete the graveyard: unattached volumes, old snapshots, idle IPv4. tiering recurs. the graveyard is pure waste — delete it and it never comes back.
