Executive Architecture Summary
Cloud waste is ubiquitous in scaling enterprises: idle non-production environments, unoptimized EBS volumes, over-provisioned Kubernetes nodes, and non-tiered object storage. i26 conducts rapid, forensic FinOps audits and implements automated IaC policies that reduce monthly cloud expenditure by 45–60% without compromising reliability.
The Enterprise Challenge & Cost Liabilities
Rapid engineering expansion inevitably leads to unmonitored cloud sprawl:
- Static node groups running 24/7 at 15–20% average CPU/memory utilization.
- Thousands of gigabytes of cold logs and snapshots accumulating on premium gp3/io2 volumes without lifecycle expiration policies.
- Lack of cost allocation tagging, making it impossible to attribute cloud spend to specific business units or products.
The i26 Engineering Solution & Blueprint
- Deploy **Karpenter** on EKS/GKE to replace rigid cluster autoscalers with just-in-time, heterogenous Spot and On-Demand instance provisioning.
- Implement automated non-production cluster scheduling (scale down to zero outside engineering hours).
- Migrate S3/GCS buckets to Intelligent-Tiering and automated cold glacier archival.
- Establish OpenCost and Grafana FinOps dashboards for unit-metric accountability (cost per transaction, cost per active user).
