Case Study: News UK achieves 40% AWS cost savings and improved cloud governance with CloudHealth Technologies

News UK Manages Cloud Spend and Improves Cloud Governance with CloudHealth

News UK, a subsidiary of News Corp. that publishes The Times, The Sunday Times and The Sun to more than 10 million readers, runs its digital platform entirely on AWS across about 60 accounts. Rapid cloud-driven growth gave the company the agility to scale for major events, but left finance with rising, opaque bills and no clear view into who was spending what.

Partnering with CloudHealth provided centralized visibility and governance across the environment, enabling rightsizing recommendations, automation of schedules, and RI management. As a result News UK discovered 1,000 unattached EBS volumes, optimized Reserved Instances to cut costs by 40%, eliminated “zombie” resources, and now enforces accountability for cloud spend.
