AWS Landing Zone & FinOps Modernization
Migrated legacy VMs to a governed AWS landing zone with tagging, autoscaling, and monthly cost reviews — without disrupting releases.
SME SaaS vendor with unpredictable traffic spikes
Delivered by Facto IT
31% lower cloud spend
The challenge
Production workloads ran on aging VMs with manual scaling and overlapping dev/test resources. Finance could not attribute spend by product line, and on-call engineers faced alert fatigue without SLO-based monitoring.
Our approach
Facto implemented an AWS landing zone with IAM guardrails, infrastructure as code, and EKS for stateless services. We introduced FinOps dashboards, rightsizing recommendations, and scheduled scale-down for non-production environments.
Measurable results
- 31% reduction in monthly AWS spend within two billing cycles
- 99.9% availability with SLO-based alerting and runbooks
- Release frequency improved from bi-weekly to twice per week
