*They Thought Their Cloud Spend Was Normal—Until Cloud Shot Proved Otherwise
*
"We weren’t seeing any red flags. Cloud Shot found them all anyway."
That’s what the DevOps lead said after plugging Cloud Shot into their infrastructure.
This wasn’t a company known for cloud waste.
Their systems spanned two major cloud providers, four regions, and multiple environments—managed by a sharp, responsive team.
No surprise charges. No recent architectural changes.
Still, their CFO kept asking:
“Why are cloud costs still so high?”
The team couldn’t answer with certainty. Growth? More traffic? Business as usual?
They brought in Cloud Shot just to be sure.
What they uncovered changed everything—within minutes.
Where the Hidden Waste Lived
🟥 VMs using <10% CPU but sized like production workhorses
What looked okay on dashboards turned out to be over-provisioned by 8x.
🟥 A staging environment that morphed into a resource hog
What should’ve been temporary ballooned into a costly, semi-permanent setup.
🟥 QA clusters sitting idle for weeks
No usage. No updates. Just quietly draining budget.
🟥 No visibility into who owned half the infrastructure
Poor tagging practices meant no one knew what could be shut down—and no one felt responsible.
How Cloud Shot Helped Cut Costs Fast
✅ Right-sized or removed 32 instances across AWS and Azure
With Cloud Shot’s data, they confidently shut down idle resources and resized overbuilt machines.
✅ Gained instant visual feedback on provisioned vs actual use
Forget log diving and spreadsheets—just one real-time map that told the full story.
✅ Rolled out team-based tagging to clarify ownership
Now, every resource was tied to a responsible party. Waste was easy to find—and even easier to fix.
By week three, the team had trimmed 18% off their monthly cloud bill.
No downtime. No service degradation.
Just efficiency—finally visible.
