Video interview: Klimator cut its AWS costs with Cloud Family — without any extra work
Jonatan Redvik Customer story 
Gothenburg-based Klimator has found a way to optimise its cloud costs. By using Cloud Family they have reduced their AWS spend — without changing anything or putting in any extra work.
"We can really recommend Cloud Family. They have lowered our costs without us having to do anything at all," says Molly Arhammar, DevOps Tech Lead at Klimator, in the video interview.
Quick integration, risk-free saving
Klimator, which develops climate-adapted road and traffic safety solutions, runs a dynamic IT environment where the workload varies considerably through the year. Traditional saving methods such as AWS Savings Plans and Reserved Instances have therefore been hard to use.
"The integration with Cloud Family took 10 minutes, and we no longer have to spend time optimising our costs. That they can optimise our spend with no risk and no lock-in is a fantastic solution for us," Arhammar explains.
Cloud Family helps companies lower their AWS costs through an AI- and ML-based platform that applies financial fixed-price commitments to other companies in real time. That makes it possible to resell AWS services at a discounted price.
"We only pay when we save money. If we do not save anything, it costs us nothing, and we can cancel the agreement at any time," Arhammar adds.
Cloud Family's solution does not affect how companies work, their technology or their security. Klimator's successful implementation makes it clear that more flexible, automated cost optimisation can be a game changer for companies with variable cloud workloads.
