Cut your AWS bill — and keep it down.

White Stork cuts AWS bills for businesses across the Middle East and keeps them down. As an AWS Advanced Tier Services Partner, we find waste, re-architect what’s overspending, and run continuous FinOps — rightsizing, Savings Plans, and cost-aware architecture. For a video-on-demand platform in Iraq we cut AWS costs by roughly 90%. Start with a free cost review.

How we cut — and keep down — your bill

Five levers, one team.

Find the waste, commit smart, fix the architecture — then keep it from creeping back, month after month.

Find the waste.

A full read of your bill and usage — idle and orphaned resources, oversized instances, over-provisioning. Industry studies put wasted cloud spend near 30%; we find yours specifically.

Capability provenA concrete, itemized savings list — not generic advice.

Commit smart.

Savings Plans and Reserved Instances modeled to your real usage — up to ~72% off on-demand — without over-committing.

Capability provenThe right commitments for your workload, not a blanket purchase.

Re-architect the expensive parts.

The big wins are architectural: storage tiering (S3 lifecycle / Glacier), CDN and egress (CloudFront), spot for batch and transcoding, serverless where it fits. This is what took the VOD platform to ~90%.

Capability provenAWS Advanced Tier Services Partner engineers who fix the architecture, not just re-price it.

Keep it down — continuous FinOps.

Budgets, anomaly detection, tagging and cost allocation, and monthly optimization — so savings don’t erode.

Capability provenCost as a managed, ongoing discipline, not a one-off cleanup.

Show the money.

CFO-readable dashboards and reporting — what you spend, on what, and what you saved.

Capability provenFinance-grade visibility, in Arabic and English.
The cost levers

Seven places the money is actually going.

L1

Idle & orphaned

Resources nobody owns, still billing every hour.

L2

Oversized instances

Rightsizing removes waste, not capacity.

L3

Savings Plans

Flexible commitments across compute types — up to ~72% off.

L4

Reserved Instances

Locked to a family, for the workloads that never change.

L5

Storage tiering

S3 lifecycle and Glacier for data you rarely read.

L6

CDN & egress

CloudFront in front of the traffic that costs the most to serve.

L7

Spot & serverless

Batch, transcoding, and spiky workloads priced properly.

We pull the levers that fit your workload — not a blanket Savings Plan purchase.

What we do

Cost optimization, end to end.

  1. AWS cost assessment & review

    A full read of your bill and architecture — where the money goes, and why.

  2. Rightsizing & waste elimination

    Resize what is oversized and switch off what nothing is using.

  3. Savings Plans & Reserved Instance strategy

    Commit only where usage is proven, at the right term and coverage.

  4. Cost-aware re-architecture — storage / CDN / spot / serverless

    Storage tiers, CDN, spot and serverless — cost designed into the architecture.

  5. Continuous FinOps — budgets, anomaly detection, tagging

    Budgets, anomaly alerts and tagging, so spend stays visible after the cleanup.

  6. Cost reporting & showback / chargeback

    Cost reported per team, product or account, in terms your finance side reads.

Why White Stork

Proven. A result, not a promise: we re-architected an over-provisioned setup, and the saving held.

01

We re-architect, not just re-price

Most “cost optimization” is buying Savings Plans. The big wins come from fixing the architecture.

02

It stays down

Continuous FinOps, not a one-time cleanup.

03

Free to start

A free cost review, no black box.

04

Bilingual

Reviews and CFO reporting in Arabic and English.

How we work

The phases

Every engagement starts with a free cost review that shows the waste and a savings estimate — then quick wins in weeks, and continuous FinOps after.

5 phases

  1. Free AWS cost review

    We analyze your bill and usage, find the waste, and give you a savings estimate.

    Free
  2. Quick wins

    Rightsizing, idle cleanup, and smart commitments — savings in weeks.

  3. Re-architect the big spenders

    Storage, egress, compute.

  4. Continuous FinOps

    Budgets, anomaly alerts, monthly optimization.

  5. Report

    Dashboards and savings tracked, CFO-ready.

Your questions, answered

It depends on your setup, but most bills carry significant waste — idle and oversized resources, on-demand pricing where commitments would save more, expensive data egress. For a video-on-demand platform in Iraq we cut AWS costs by roughly 90% by re-architecting an over-provisioned setup. Start with a free cost review.

FinOps brings financial accountability to variable cloud spend — engineering, finance, and operations working together to get the most value per dollar. In practice it is three things, done continuously: visibility (where the money goes), optimization (cutting waste and committing smart), and governance (keeping it that way).

Usually a mix of idle or oversized resources, on-demand pricing where Savings Plans or Reserved Instances would be far cheaper, expensive data transfer and egress, and no single owner accountable for cost. We find and fix each one.

Both trade a 1–3 year commitment for a discount of up to ~72% off on-demand. Reserved Instances lock to specific instance families; Savings Plans are more flexible across compute types. We model your usage and recommend the mix that maximizes savings without over-committing.

No — done right it improves both. Rightsizing removes waste, not capacity, and we work within the AWS Well-Architected Framework so reliability and performance are preserved while cost drops.
