AWS Landing Zone & FinOps Modernization
Migrated legacy VMs to a governed AWS landing zone with tagging, autoscaling, and monthly cost reviews — without disrupting releases.
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 IT 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.
Architecture
AWS landing zone with IAM guardrails, Terraform-managed infrastructure, and EKS for stateless services with observability via CloudWatch.
Security
IAM guardrails, separated account practices, and operational monitoring tied to SLOs and runbooks.
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
