It's harder than it looks. Solving this problem is my entire business model.
Stopping unused resources is half of it-- the overlooked other half is understanding what the bill shows you. Finance doesn't care about how much is compute vs storage, they care about COGS vs R&D spend.
One-off cost reductions are relatively easy; coming up with a longer term approach takes significantly more work.
