The problem
Arm-based instances (AWS Graviton) are meaningfully cheaper per unit of performance, but “modernize the fleet” is the kind of project that never reaches the top of the backlog. So steady, stateless workloads keep running on pricier x86 long after they could have moved.
How Lizrd fixes it
Lizrd looks at what each workload actually runs and flags the ones that are good Arm candidates — steady, horizontally-scaled, on runtimes that are already Arm-ready. Each recommendation comes with the target instance family, the projected saving, a confidence level, and — when your infrastructure is defined as code — the exact file and diff to change.
The outcome
You migrate the easy wins first, one reversible change at a time, and Lizrd validates the realized saving once each lands. No fleet-wide rewrite, no capacity-planning spreadsheet.
“We knew Graviton was cheaper but never had time to figure out what was safe to move. Lizrd handed us the list, ranked, with the Terraform change for each one.”
More ways to save
Cover steady usage with commitments
Savings Plans and committed-use discounts are free money on steady baselines — if you size them right. Lizrd finds your safe, always-on floor to commit against.
Cut idle networking waste
Idle NAT gateways, unattached elastic IPs, and load balancers with no traffic bill around the clock. Lizrd finds them and confirms what's safe to remove.
Delete orphaned resources
Unattached volumes, unused IPs, and stale snapshots keep billing with nothing using them. Lizrd finds them and confirms they're safe to remove.
