How much could you
save on cloud?

Adjust the inputs to see a savings range. Numbers are anchored to BluOryn's prior FinOps engagements — conservative on the low end. Real audits go deeper.

How the model works

  • Saving range is workload-aware (Web/Data/ML/Mixed each map to different bands).
  • Longer commitments add 5–10 pp on top via deeper RI / Savings Plan discounts.
  • Capped at 70% upper bound — we don't promise unrealistic outliers.

Range from prior BluOryn engagements. Real savings depend on workload mix and existing posture. We share evidence on the first call.

Where the savings come from

Three levers. No magic.

Most cloud-cost claims fall apart because they sell one lever and ignore the others. We pull all three, in order, and show our workings.

01 15–25%

Right-sizing

Workload-aware instance + storage selection. Cuts over-provisioned compute and dormant volumes immediately.

02 10–20%

Reserved + Savings Plans

Multi-account RI portfolio + Savings Plan strategy modelled to your forecast, not pushed by a vendor.

03 8–15%

Architecture

Idle elimination, region consolidation, intelligent tiering, multi-AZ rationalisation, ARM/Graviton migration.

Why these numbers hold up

Anchored in real engagements.

The model uses the same conservative bands we cite on services pages. We show our workings on the first call — no vendor incentives, no kickbacks from cloud providers.
