Download free eBook

If you’re an Amazon Web Services (AWS) customer, you’re probably in this repeating cycle of spiraling cost pain..

The bill comes in over budget every month.

The engineering team can’t answer “Why”?

And then you’re left searching for answers.

If this is you, you’re not alone, and it's not your fault.

There are entire categories of hidden costs in AWS’ billing data. Charges like Data Transfer, “EC2-Other”, and API activity are notoriously difficult to isolate and understand.

Strake’s platform was purpose built to solve this problem, leaving you with lower, more predictable, cloud costs.

Strake helps engineering teams identify and eliminate waste. That means tying every charge back to the resources that caused them and identifying exactly what they are paying for.

As an example of how our platform works, we documented some examples of Strake customers defeating these hidden costs in our new eBook: 5 Ways to Cut AWS Costs You Didn’t Know About.

Each chapter addresses a unique AWS billing issue with annual savings over $100,000:

– The Hidden EC2 Data Transfer Tax
– The NAT Gateway Processing Multiplier
– The S3 Request Flood
– The CloudWatch Rolex Watch
– The RedShift Data Hoarders

Take a look at this eBook and let us know about the hidden costs you'd like to see defeated next!
