Labs & Demos
Internal demonstrations and lab simulations showcasing Zyorix's FinOps frameworks: dashboards, tagging compliance models, budget/forecast workflows, and optimisation backlogs.
⚠️Important: These are lab simulations and demonstrations, not client engagements. Frameworks are validated in lab settings and designed to help organisations target optimisation outcomes.
Lab Simulation (Fintech Profile)
Lab Scenario
Lab scenario: Rapid growth profile where cloud costs grow 400% in 12 months. Engineering lacks cost visibility, finance cannot forecast accurately. Typical Series A pressure for predictable burn rates.
Lab-Validated Framework
Lab-validated 6-Week FinOps Sprint™ framework: waste identification (idle dev/staging resources), reserved capacity planning for steady workloads, and team/feature cost allocation model.
The Results
Why this scenario is representative:
Seed→Series A teams often experience 3–5× spend growth without allocation or RI/SP strategy. Model assumes baseline idle dev/staging, partial tagging, and steady workload components suitable for commitments.
What Was Delivered:
- 90-day FinOps roadmap
- Reserved Instance recommendations (18-month coverage)
- Cost allocation model (by team & feature)
- Automated anomaly detection alerts
- Monthly forecast model
Lab Simulation (Retail Tech Multi-Cloud)
Lab Scenario
Multi-cloud architecture (AWS for compute, GCP for data) with no unified cost view. Multiple teams sharing infrastructure led to allocation disputes and budget overruns. Previous attempt with a SaaS FinOps platform failed due to complexity.
Lab-Validated Framework
Created unified cost allocation framework across AWS + GCP, implemented showback reports for each product team, optimised data transfer costs between clouds, and established governance policies to prevent future waste.
The Results
Why this scenario is representative:
Multi-cloud environments (AWS+GCP) frequently lack unified cost allocation and cross-cloud commitment strategies. Model assumes moderate waste across both platforms with fragmented tagging practices.
What Was Delivered:
- Unified multi-cloud cost dashboard
- Showback/chargeback framework
- Data transfer optimisation playbook
- Team-specific budget alerts
- Quarterly governance review process
Representative Scenario (Modelled)
Lab Scenario
Post-acquisition integration led to duplicate infrastructure and orphaned resources across 15+ AWS accounts. No cost ownership, and engineering team spent more time firefighting than optimising. CFO demanded 20% cost reduction to hit profitability targets.
Lab-Validated Framework
Consolidated AWS accounts using AWS Organizations, identified and decommissioned orphaned resources (34% of total spend), implemented rightsizing for over-provisioned RDS and EC2 instances, and created cost-aware culture through training.
The Results
Why this scenario is representative:
Post-M&A scenarios typically inherit duplicate infrastructure, abandoned projects, and orphaned resources. Model assumes moderate architectural debt with opportunity for consolidation and modernization.
What Was Delivered:
- AWS account consolidation strategy
- Orphaned resource audit & decommissioning plan
- Rightsizing recommendations (50+ instances)
- Cost-aware engineering training (2 workshops)
- Ongoing quarterly health checks
Important Disclosure:
These scenarios are lab simulations demonstrating Zyorix Sprint methodology, not client engagements.
Lab-validated frameworks designed to help organisations target cost optimisation outcomes (e.g., rightsizing, reserved capacity planning, waste elimination). Baselines documented per the Zyorix Lab Methodology.
Actual outcomes depend on your environment complexity, current FinOps maturity, and implementation commitment.
