Allocation
Billing accounts, projects, labels, budgets and unit views.
Cloud cost
Google Cloud cost optimization
Reduce Google Cloud waste through allocation, usage, commitments and workload architecture changes. Reduce avoidable spend without quietly removing reliability, security or delivery headroom.
01 / Scope
Work on the system, not around it.
The engagement starts with the architecture and working constraints already in place. We agree the risky paths, make the changes visible and leave ownership with the team running the system.
Usage
Compute, GKE, storage, databases, logs and idle resources.
Rates
Committed use, sustained use, Spot and service-specific pricing.
Architecture
BigQuery, data transfer, retention and scaling patterns.
02 / Method
Reduce avoidable spend without quietly removing reliability, security or delivery headroom.
Scope and access are agreed before the work begins. Decisions, changes and residual risk remain visible throughout the engagement.
Explain the baseline
Start with evidence, owners and the constraints that shape the safe solution.
Model the trade-offs
Prioritise by practical impact and implement with the people who operate the system.
Change and verify
Test the changed path, document the decision and hand over a backlog that still makes sense.
03 / What remains

- 02Opportunity register with risk and effort
- 03Implemented quick wins
- 04Commitment and verification model
