Problem
Enterprises often incur unnecessary AWS costs because they lack visibility into resource utilization and do not have automated guidance for rightsizing workloads. This leads to overprovisioned instances, idle services, and unpredictable cloud spend.
Solution
Blocks connects to a customer’s existing AWS accounts and continuously analyzes usage data to surface underutilized resources. The platform generates actionable rightsizing recommendations that can be applied without modifying the underlying infrastructure. Savings are realized by reducing or terminating idle resources, and Blocks only charges a small percentage of the amount saved, with no fee if no reduction is achieved. The service includes a guaranteed minimum of 20% cost reduction for eligible accounts, and customers can cancel at any time without penalties. All interactions are performed through the invoice, keeping the customer’s cloud environment unchanged.
Target Audience
Blocks is aimed at cloud‑focused finance teams, DevOps engineers, and IT managers in mid‑size to large enterprises that run significant workloads on AWS and seek to control spend without altering their existing architecture.
