Challenges
eLocal had been growing rapidly and while they had a best of engineering resources, they struggled with the usual FinOps challenges:
Lack of Visibility
eLocal had an extensive and complex AWS infrastructure distributed across multiple projects which hampered the overall cloud usage visibility.
Right-sizing of Instances
Due to a large number of AWS instances, they struggled to manage resource provisioning, creating performance bottlenecks and budgetary constraints.
Manual RI/SP Management
They managed AWS RIs and Savings Plans manually, which led to overcommitments, limited flexibility, and challenges with dynamic workloads.
Cost Monitoring Challenges
eLocal found it difficult to track and analyze cloud costs due to the complexity of their large AWS infrastructure, which was constantly being scaled up.
Solution
After eLocal was onboarded to the end-to-end AWS Cost Optimization solution CloudKeeper AZ, they received immediate savings of 10% on their overall monthly AWS bills, owing to the RI-pricing offered for 100% of their EC2 usage.
Additionally, they could further reduce their AWS costs by 15%, with the help of architectural-level optimizations which included eliminating cloud waste, right-sizing resources, fine-tuning the system design and further recommendations around the following services -
