Don't let this gap widen

Why this program matters

  • Without AWS Cost Management mastery, AWS companies lose an average 35% of budget to underutilized resources, with inflated bills from oversized EC2 instances and forgotten snapshots.

  • IT teams spend 25% more time justifying unexpected cost overruns, exposing the company to costly internal audits and project delays.

  • In 2026, 68% of cloud migrations fail due to lack of optimization, widening the competitive gap against cost-efficient rivals.

  • Every quarter without FinOps skills equals 10-20k€ wasted, risking your career and business scalability.

Program

Module 1AWS Cost Management Fundamentals: Exploring Analysis Tools (Cost Explorer, Billing Console)

Dive into the AWS Billing and Cost Explorer consoles to dissect your monthly bills, configure custom views on costs by service and tag, create your first spending report with advanced filters, apply practical exercises on an AWS sandbox account, identify immediate waste, and produce an initial enterprise-ready dashboard, transforming raw data into actionable insights for rapid optimization.

Module 2Advanced AWS Cost Management Analysis: Budgets and Forecasting (AWS Budgets, Cost Anomaly Detection)

Configure custom AWS budgets with email and SNS alert thresholds, simulate 12-month cost forecasts using native tools, detect anomalies with Cost Anomaly Detection on real enterprise cases, practice tag-based analysis to accurately attribute spending to projects, generate exportable reports to Excel or QuickSight, and validate your skills with a forecasting exercise predicting 20% savings in the first week.

Module 3AWS Cost Management Resource Optimization: Rightsizing and Cleanup (Trusted Advisor, Compute Optimizer)

Use Trusted Advisor and Compute Optimizer to audit your EC2 instances and EBS volumes, apply rightsizing to real clusters by reducing unnecessary sizes, remove orphaned resources like S3 snapshots and detached volumes using simple scripts, test optimization scenarios in a lab environment, measure the quantified impact in euros saved, and document a prioritized action plan that boosts your professional cloud infrastructure efficiency without compromising performance.

Module 4AWS Cost Management Savings Strategies: Savings Plans and Reserved Instances (Pricing Calculator)

Master the Pricing Calculator to model Savings Plans and Reserved Instances purchase scenarios, compare options for EC2, RDS, and Lambda on variable workloads, virtually negotiate 1-3 year commitments with calculated ROI, implement purchases via the console with guided exercises, analyze enterprise cases where Savings Plans reduced costs by 40%, and produce a personalized report proving immediate profitability for your certified organization.

Module 5AWS Cost Management Governance and Automation: FinOps and Scripts (AWS Organizations, Lambda)

Deploy multi-account governance with AWS Organizations and SCP policies to control spending, automate alerts and shutdowns via Lambda and EventBridge on budget triggers, integrate FinOps best practices with collaborative workshops, review a red-thread project incorporating all learned tools, present your optimizations to a simulated enterprise jury, and leave with a ready-to-deploy automation kit, ensuring certified mastery of AWS costs in production.

Our method

Training quality, guaranteed at every step

Before, during, after: we frame the brief, introduce the trainer, tailor the content and measure impact. You stay in control from kickoff to wrap-up.

Step 1

Rigorous trainer selection

Each trainer is validated on three criteria: hands-on field expertise, proven pedagogy and alignment with your industry.

  • Triple validation: technical, pedagogical, sectoral.
  • Minimum rating 4.8/5 over the last 12 sessions.
Step 2

You meet the trainer beforehand

30-minute video call between you and the selected trainer to validate the fit, adjust content and clear any final doubts.

  • Live briefing on goals and team context.
  • Veto right — we swap the trainer for free if needed.
Step 3

Content tailored to your context

No recycled slides. The syllabus is reworked from your real cases: tools, constraints, vocabulary, ongoing projects.

  • Hands-on cases drawn from your stack and projects.
  • Program co-written then validated by your team.
Step 4

Continuous quality follow-up

Live evaluations, 30/90/180-day check-ins and a consolidation plan. If the impact misses the mark, we rework it.

  • NPS, knowledge quizzes and skills self-assessment.
  • Satisfaction guarantee: fully satisfied or free rework.

A simple promise: you don't pay to discover the trainer on day one. Everything is validated upfront, by you.
