CloudPi Case study

Transforming Cloud Operations for a Leading Freight Car Manufacturer

At CloudPi, we empower businesses with intelligent cloud cost optimization and governance solutions that maximize efficiency while minimizing expenses. Our platform seamlessly integrates with your existing cloud infrastructure, offering real-time insights, automated recommendations, and proactive policy enforcement to help you take control of your cloud spending

Background :

A mid-sized SaaS company experienced an alarming 500% increase in their monthly AWS S3 costs, jumping from $3,000 to $15,000. Traditional AWS cost monitoring tools couldn't provide the granular insights needed to identify the root cause, leading to weeks of investigation and continued excessive spending. 

Challenge:

Due to the inability to pinpoint which S3 bucket or operation caused the surge, there was no clear visibility into whether internal processes or external users were responsible. Additionally, limited historical data from incomplete AWS cost allocation tags and the lack of retroactive analysis capabilities in native AWS tools made it difficult to diagnose and manage cost spikes effectively.

Solution:

CloudPi implemented a comprehensive FinOps strategy focused on cost optimization by identifying and eliminating resource waste while maintaining performance, automation with 25 unique use case deployments across 16 teams, governance through executive-approved cloud policies and KPI tracking, and monitoring via weekly reporting and alert management systems.

Results:

After six months of CloudPi's intervention, the manufacturer achieved:
Financial Impact: 

CloudPi's FinOps strategy led to $1 million in cost reductions, with projected annual savings of $1.7 million and a 35% improvement in overall business value.

Operational Improvements: 

CloudPi's FinOps strategy resulted in a 20% improvement in resource utilization across 50% of projects, a 10% enhancement in FinOps metrics, and a 25% increase in workload predictability. Additionally, it established a single source of truth for executives and managers, generated 40 daily reports for better decision-making, and reduced response time from no response to weekly actions.

The implementation of CloudPi's solutions not only delivered significant cost savings but also transformed the organization's cloud operations, improving efficiency, governance, and decision-making capabilities. The manufacturer now benefits from enhanced visibility into cloud spending, better resource utilization, and a more structured approach to cloud management, positioning them for sustainable growth and continued optimization.Â
