What I Find in Your AWS Accounts

🖥️

Stopped EC2 Instances

AWS EC2 instances stopped for 30+ days, still costing storage fees. Often forgotten for months or years.

🗄️

Unused RDS Databases

Zero connections for 90+ days, validated with CloudWatch metrics. Safe to delete with forensic proof.

⚖️

Zombie Load Balancers

No traffic for 90+ days. Each costs $16-25/month doing nothing.

💾

Unattached EBS Volumes

Forgotten storage volumes costing money. Often left behind after instance termination.

🌐

Unused Elastic IPs

$3.60/month each when unassociated. Adds up fast across multiple accounts.

📊

Idle DynamoDB Tables

No read/write activity for 90+ days. Provisioned capacity costing money for nothing.

How It Works

1

I Visit Your Office

2-4 hours onsite in Sydney. Bring my laptop, use my own internet (phone hotspot).

You Create Temp Access

Your team creates temporary read-only AWS SSO user. Takes 5 minutes.

3

Forensic Analysis

I run CloudWatch analysis showing 90 days of zero activity. You watch my screen.

4

Generate Report

Detailed report with exact resource IDs, costs, ages, and deletion safety proof.

5

Walk Through Results

Review findings together, answer questions, provide HTML/CSV/TXT files.

6

Delete My Access

When I leave, you delete my access. No lingering permissions.

What Makes This Different

✅ Proof, Not Recommendations

AWS Trusted Advisor gives recommendations to investigate. I provide forensic proof with 90 days of CloudWatch data showing zero activity.

✅ You Control Everything

Temporary access, read-only permissions, deleted same day. Watch my screen the entire time.

✅ Zero Risk

I use my own internet (phone hotspot). No access to your network. Can't modify anything.

✅ Immediate Results

Walk through report together before I leave. Get HTML, CSV, and TXT files to share with your team.

✅ Court-Ready Evidence

91 datapoints of zero connections for RDS. 90+ days of zero traffic for load balancers. Defensible proof for deletions.

✅ No Ongoing Access

I'm gone same day. No lingering permissions, no ongoing relationship required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do you need access to our network?

A: No. I use my own internet (phone hotspot). I only need temporary read-only AWS SSO credentials.

Q: What if you find something sensitive?

A: I only check resource metadata (instance IDs, sizes, ages, CloudWatch metrics). I don't access application data, databases, or S3 buckets.

Q: Can we review the script first?

A: Yes, I'll walk through it when I arrive before running anything. It's bash using only AWS CLI read commands. Since you're giving me read-only credentials, the script can't modify anything even if it tried.

Q: How long does it take?

A: 2-4 hours depending on number of accounts. 10 accounts = ~2 hours. 50 accounts = ~4 hours.

Q: What if we're already optimized?

A: Then the scan is free (if less than $10K found). You lose nothing.

Q: Do you offer remote scans?

A: Yes, via screen share if you prefer. Same process, same pricing.

Q: What about Azure or Google Cloud?

A: Currently AWS only, but Azure support coming soon. Contact me if you're interested in multi-cloud scans.
