Sentrilite

Cloud Cost Assessment Service

Find the leaks in your cloud bill. In one week with Our Dedicated Cloud Ops Experts.

We deploy Sentrilite in your environment, run a 7-day cost audit, and deliver a written report showing exactly where your cloud spend is going - down to the process and destination.

Free audit for 1 node — no commitment, no upfront cost. For multi-node audits, we charge 15% of the forecasted annual savings. No savings, no fee.

1-node audit
We deploy Sentrilite on one server or Kubernetes node, run for 7 days, deliver findings for that node. No upfront cost, no commitment.
15%
Multi-node audit
15% of forecasted annual savings, paid only after report delivery. No savings, no fee.

How It Works

Most cloud cost assessments take weeks of meetings, produce a slide deck, and recommend "improve your tagging discipline." This is different - we collect real data from your kernel, analyze it, and hand you a report with concrete findings.

DAY 1

Install Sentrilite

One command on your Linux nodes or one DaemonSet for Kubernetes. No code changes, no API credentials, no Prometheus required.

DAY 2-6

Real-time data collection

Sentrilite watches every network connection and tracks compute usage at the process level. Cross-region traffic and over-provisioned workloads are flagged automatically.

DAY 7

Report and walk-through

You receive a written Cost Intelligence Report. We schedule a 60-minute call to walk through findings, prioritize fixes, and answer questions from your team.

DAY 8+

Your team executes

You keep all the findings, the report, and any savings your team implements. No retainer, no ongoing engagement required.

What's in the Report

Every audit includes findings across two cost dimensions: network egress and compute waste. Each finding includes the responsible workload, the destination, the estimated annual cost, and a remediation recommendation.

Network Egress Findings

Top cost flows by process and destination. Cross-region transfers flagged automatically. Internet vs. intra-cloud traffic distinguished by destination IP. The exact services driving your data transfer bill.

Compute Waste Findings

Idle pods with reserved resources running 24/7. Over-provisioned workloads using a fraction of their CPU and memory limits. Dollar value of waste per workload, per week, per year.

Multi-Cloud Coverage

AWS, GCP, and Azure in the same report. Bare-metal Linux and hybrid environments supported. One agent across the whole estate.

Prioritized Remediation

Findings ranked by annual cost impact. Each one includes a recommended fix, estimated savings, and an effort estimate so your team can decide what to tackle first.

What We Typically Find

Patterns we see consistently across cloud environments. None of these are visible at the line-item level on the standard cloud bill - the data has to come from inside the workload.

Common cost anomalies we surface

Who It's For

The audit is a fit if you recognize any of the following:

Your cloud bill is growing faster than your usage

The line items have stories nobody can fully explain. Finance asks "why is this up" and engineering needs two days of investigation to answer.

You've tried tagging policies and they decay

Every six months someone announces a new tagging discipline. Six months later nobody is maintaining it. The cost attribution gap is back.

You don't have a dedicated FinOps team yet

Cost management is somebody's part-time responsibility, and that somebody changes every quarter. You need a fast, external read on the state of the bill.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Sentrilite actually need to run in our environment?

A single Docker container or Kubernetes DaemonSet on the nodes you want to observe. No code changes, no API credentials, no billing integrations. The agent reads at the kernel level using eBPF and ships findings to a local dashboard.

Does data leave our environment?

No. All data collection and analysis happens within your environment. The report is generated locally and shared with you over your preferred secure channel. Nothing about your workloads or traffic patterns goes to a third-party cloud.

What if you don't find anything material?

You pay nothing. Multi-node audits are billed at 15% of forecasted annual savings — if our findings don't forecast meaningful savings, there's no fee. The free 1-node audit has no fee regardless of findings.

How is pricing calculated?

The 1-node audit is free, no commitment required. For multi-node audits, we charge 15% of the forecasted annual cost savings identified in the report. Example: if we forecast $50,000 in annual savings, the audit fee is $7,500. No savings, no fee.

How is "forecasted annual savings" calculated?

Each finding in the report includes the wasted resource, the cost at published cloud pricing rates, the recommended fix, and the projected annual savings if executed. We use AWS, GCP, and Azure published pricing — verifiable against the cloud provider's own rate cards. The methodology is documented in the engagement letter before the audit begins.

When is the audit fee paid?

Net-30 from report delivery. The engagement letter signed before the audit specifies the calculation methodology, so the invoice math is clear before any work begins.

Does this require executive sign-off or procurement approval?

The 1-node audit requires no commitment and no approval — it's free. Multi-node audits typically fall well below procurement thresholds at most organizations and are commonly approved by VP of Engineering or Platform Lead.

Can we keep using Sentrilite after the audit?

Yes. The agent stays in your environment if you want it to. Most customers who see real-time cost visibility working choose to continue on a subscription basis. The audit and subscription are priced separately — there's no obligation either way.

How quickly can we get started?

Most engagements start within 5-7 business days of the initial intro call. The 7-day data collection period begins as soon as the agent is installed and verified.
