How Vantage Uses Vantage

Vantage, a cloud cost visibility and optimization platform, used its own services to achieve significant cost savings on AWS by identifying anomalies and optimizing resources. They switched from costly NAT gateways to a combination of NAT instances and VPC endpoints, reducing external traffic costs by 80%. This was facilitated by Network Flow Reports, which pinpointed expensive data ingress and egress sources. In addition, Vantage tackled rising S3 storage costs by implementing Amazon S3 Storage Lens and lifecycle rules, effectively managing over 500 TB of temporary data and cutting storage usage in half. These efforts underscore the platform’s effectiveness in streamlining cloud cost management and demonstrate how Vantage’s tools can be harnessed for both internal and external cost-saving strategies.
