Your prompt
Find the savings in this bill. Start with the top ten line items. Cloud spend is almost always concentrated, and an audit that starts with a list of small inefficiencies spends its credibility before reaching the thing that is 40% of the bill. Find the waste that is pure: unattached volumes, idle load balancers, stopped instances still billing for storage, snapshots of things deleted a year ago, and non-production environments running at the weekend. These cost nothing to remove and they are the fastest credibility you will get. Quantify every recommendation in money per month, with the effort and the risk next to it. A reserved-instance commitment and deleting an orphaned volume are not the same decision even at the same saving.

Why this works
An audit that opens with small inefficiencies spends its credibility before reaching the line item that is 40% of the bill. This starts at the top, then clears the pure waste, and prices every recommendation in money per month with the risk beside it.
