If you like saving money, the OLA is for you. The AWS Optimisation and Licensing Assessment (OLA) is a programme that offers a comprehensive price and efficiency evaluation of cloud environments. The OLA can be run against existing AWS accounts, or your on-premises infrastructure before a migration to the cloud.
Significant price savings can be achieved, typically through the right size of infrastructure and the removal/reduction of third party licences where possible.
This assessment can uncover unused resources, suggest rightsizing instances, and recommend cost-saving measures.
Assessing your AWS setup can reveal opportunities to enhance performance by optimising configurations, improving resource allocation, and implementing best practices.
Ensuring compliance with AWS licensing agreements is crucial to avoid legal and financial penalties.
Assessing your AWS environment can help identify security vulnerabilities and gaps in your infrastructure, ensuring that proper security measures are in place to protect your data and applications.
Analysing resource utilisation can help ensure that you are effectively utilising your AWS resources, avoiding over-provisioning or underutilization, which can lead to wasted resources and increased costs.
