Tagging & Allocation Policy
We eliminate the "Unallocated" line item. We implement a strict tagging taxonomy (Team, Product, Environment) enforced via Infrastructure-as-Code. Every cent on the invoice has an owner.
Transform your cloud spend into business value. Metanow helps you regain control over your infrastructure budget with strategic cost optimization. We provide bespoke management solutions that bring transparency to your spending, empowering your team to make smarter, data-backed financial decisions in real time.

You receive a governed, tagged, and automated infrastructure where every euro spent is tied directly to revenue generation, eliminating waste by design.

We stop you from paying for air. We deploy scripts that automatically downsize over-provisioned EC2/VMs and terminate "Zombie Resources" (idle load balancers, unattached volumes) that generate zero value.
We arbitrage the cloud market. We construct a mathematically optimized portfolio of Reserved Instances and Savings Plans, securing up to 72% discounts without locking you into obsolete instance types.
We contextulize the spend. Instead of just "Total Cost," we implement dashboards tracking "Cost Per Transaction" or "Cost Per Active User." You know exactly if a bill increase is due to waste or healthy growth.
No more end-of-month surprises. We configure Anomaly Detection alerts that trigger the moment daily spend deviates from the forecast. If a dev leaves a massive cluster running, we kill it automatically.

We don't just lower your bill once; we build a culture of cost-efficiency. The Metanow process begins with a Deep-Dive Assessment, where we uncover hidden inefficiencies and validate your data. We then move to Strategic Optimization, implementing bespoke guidelines and architectural changes. Finally, we transition to Sustainable Growth, setting up KPIs and automated governance to ensure your future projects launch—and stay—on budget.

We leverage industry-leading cloud native tools and advanced analytics platforms to identify every saving opportunity. From AWS Cost Explorer to Power BI dashboards and Azure Hybrid Benefits, our toolkit ensures no data point is left unanalyzed and no budget goes unchecked.
Adopting a FinOps culture is a shift in mindset as much as it is a change in operations. Here are answers to the most frequent questions we get about how Metanow helps you balance speed, cost, and quality in the cloud.
Our framework follows a cyclical approach:
Assess: We gain full visibility into your current spending, mapping costs to specific teams or projects to understand usage patterns.
Optimize: We take action to reduce waste, such as rightsizing instances, removing zombie resources, and applying reserved pricing models.
Grow: We implement governance and KPIs to ensure that as you scale new projects, your cloud efficiency scales with them, maintaining financial health long-term.
The most impactful strategies we implement include:
Rightsizing: Matching instance types and sizes strictly to workload demands to prevent over-provisioning.
Spot & Reserved Instances: Leveraging pre-commitment discounts (Reserved) for steady workloads and Spot instances for fault-tolerant tasks to secure significantly lower rates.
Automated Governance: Setting up alerts and automated shutdowns for non-production resources during off-hours to prevent "accidental" spending.
