AWS savings that pay for themselves
We find the waste, recommend the fixes, and implement the savings. Average 30% reduction in cloud spend.
You're paying for cloud resources you don't use
Runaway Costs
Your AWS bill grows 20-30% year over year. Nobody knows exactly why, and nobody has time to investigate.
Hidden Waste
Oversized instances, unused EBS volumes, forgotten dev environments—waste hides in plain sight across hundreds of resources.
No Time to Optimize
Your engineers are building features, not analyzing cost reports. RI planning and Savings Plans require dedicated attention.
How it works
We collect cost data
Daily cost ingestion from AWS Cost Explorer, CloudWatch, and resource tagging. Complete visibility across all accounts.
AWS Cost Explorer + CloudWatch
We analyze and detect
AI-driven anomaly detection spots cost spikes. Trend analysis identifies optimization opportunities across your fleet.
Anomaly detection + Trend analysis
We recommend savings
Right-sizing, Reserved Instances, Savings Plans, waste elimination. Every recommendation comes with projected savings.
Validated recommendations
We execute optimizations
With your approval, we implement changes via Terraform. Savings are tracked and validated monthly.

Savings you can expect
Example: A Series A company spending $27K/month on AWS.
We typically find $6K-$8K/month in savings through right-sizing, waste elimination, and RI planning.
Vigil Cost Optimization pays for itself in the first month.

Common Questions
How quickly will we see savings? +
Most clients see their first savings within 2 weeks. Quick wins like unused resource cleanup happen in week 1. Right-sizing and RI planning deliver sustained savings starting week 2-3.
Will optimizations affect our application performance? +
No. Every recommendation is validated against actual utilization data. We only recommend downsizing when there's clear headroom. All changes go through your approval workflow.
Do you support multi-account AWS environments? +
Yes. We support AWS Organizations with multiple accounts. Our cost analysis spans all accounts and provides both consolidated and per-account views.
What's the difference between Observe and Manage tier for cost optimization? +
On Observe tier, you get recommendations and dashboards—your team implements the changes. On Manage tier, our engineers implement the approved optimizations via Terraform, handle RI purchases, and execute right-sizing changes for you.
Do you replace tools like CloudHealth or Kubecost? +
For most Series A-B companies, yes. Our cost optimization covers visibility, recommendations, and implementation at a fraction of the cost. Enterprise companies with complex multi-cloud FinOps needs may use specialized tools alongside Vigil.
How do you validate savings? +
We track actual costs before and after each optimization. Monthly savings reports show validated reductions with before/after comparisons. No theoretical savings—only real, measurable results.
What if we're already using Savings Plans? +
We'll optimize around your existing commitments. We analyze your current SP/RI coverage, identify gaps, and recommend additional savings. Most companies leave 15-20% on the table even with existing commitments.
Works even better together
Monitoring
Utilization metrics power accurate right-sizing recommendations.
Security
Identify unused resources that are both a cost waste and an attack surface.
CI/CD Monitoring
Track deployments that spin up new resources and impact cloud costs.
Compliance
Cost documentation and controls feed into SOC2 audit evidence.
