# Elevate Your AWS Cloud Efficiency with Antimetal

**Introducing Antimetal: Revolutionizing Cloud Cost Management and Optimization**

At Antimetal, we understand the complexities of managing cloud costs and the importance of optimizing cloud resources for efficiency and savings. Our comprehensive cloud cost management platform, combined with our automation software and a team of certified FinOps practitioners and solutions architects, is designed to empower AWS customers with unparalleled insights, control, and optimization over their cloud spend.

**Reservation Recommendations**

The Antimetal platform learns from your infrastructure and provides the most up to date reservation recommendations. From Compute Savings Plans to OpenSearch Reserved Instances to CloudFront Savings Bundle, just to name a few. Our savings team are on top of AWS savings instruments management and continuously roll out automated solutions to provide savings recommendations and automated savings instrument purchases. From a long term three year commitments to convertible RIs our FinOps members understand when each savings instrument type suits best and works hand in hand with our customers to find the right solution for their engineering workload.

**Reservation Inventory**

Antimetal is all about transparency. Just like cost and usage data, Antimetal offers full transparency on savings instruments for customers to stay up to date on how their accounts are doing in terms of utilization and coverage. We work hand in hand with customers to process reservation recommendations then take actions on them depending on the current situation and the future roadmaps of the team.

**Antimetal offers a systematic approach to resource optimization, enabling customers to:**

* Identify and recommend EC2/RDS right-sizing optimizations based on comprehensive utilization metrics, ensuring the most efficient instance selection across all AWS families.
* Utilize elasticity and scheduling tailored to historical usage patterns, maximizing resource efficiency.\
  Optimize storage through visibility into metrics, modernization from GP2 to GP3, policy-based snapshot management, lifecycle management, and automated tiering based on business needs.
* Identify Lambda functions that can be configured with higher or lower memory that can improve performance or can reduce costs.
* Implement S3 policies that move infrequently accessed resources to different storage tiers to achieve savings.
* Identify idle resources and generate transparency on IP costs.

**Appropriate Upgrades**

Although Antimetal empowers our customers to achieve high savings, we are also very aware of the advantages of new generation instances that come out. Therefore, we ensure that the reservation coverages we commit to with our customers still offer flexibility for engineering team to try and potentially migrate off to different instance types.

**Taking Full Advantage of AWS Services**

Our team of solutions architectures don't just think in one dimension. It's never reserved instances vs on demand instances. There are many facets and angles to cloud savings and we diversify our savings approach. From a mix of Spot Instances and On Demand Instances to taking advantage of AutoScaling Groups and ECS on Fargate, our team of experts provide many different solutions to help our customers run lean and scale efficiently.
