Engineering Tools & FinOps Diagnostics
Free calculators, production checklists, and open-source modules built to audit cloud infrastructure, eliminate recurring AWS waste, and ensure high availability.
AWS Waste Calculator
Simulate immediate monthly savings across NAT Gateways, idle non-production EC2 instances, and unattached EBS volumes in under 60 seconds.
AWS 20-Point FinOps Checklist
A complete 20-point operational audit checklist used on real production clusters to stop recurring AWS overcharges without introducing downtime.
15-Min Live Bill Review
Hop on a 15-minute screenshare with Mohamed Arkid. We look at your AWS Cost Explorer together and isolate your top 3 immediate cost leaks.
Estimate Your Monthly AWS Waste
Adjust the sliders based on your current AWS architecture to simulate potential cost reductions from NAT endpoints and compute rightsizing.
Use the 2-week average of CPUUtilization in CloudWatch.
NAT Gateway → VPC Endpoints
Removable egress + data-processing cost
Rightsize over-provisioned compute
Toward 60% utilization
Spot / Karpenter migration
Interruption-tolerant workloads
Directional estimate from public AWS us-east-1 pricing and typical FinOps engagements. Not a quote — real numbers come from your actual Cost & Usage Report.
Production-Tested FinOps Infrastructure
Reusable Terraform and Python automation packages for cloud teams to eliminate idle spend and audit resource utilization.
Tag-driven AWS Lambda + Terraform module that automatically schedules and terminates idle non-production EC2, RDS, and ECS instances outside working hours.
High-speed Python CLI parser for AWS Cost & Usage Reports that exposes per-resource cost drivers, hidden data transfer costs, and orphaned snapshots.
Production-ready Terraform module routing internal S3, DynamoDB, and ECR traffic through Gateway/Interface VPC Endpoints instead of expensive NAT Gateways.
The 10-point AWS cost checklist
The checks I run first on an AWS bill, each with the AWS CLI command that finds the waste and what to do about it. You can also read it on the site.
