Layer 1 · Unattended consulting assessment
Get an independent RDS SQL Server optimization decision.
Determine whether an RDS SQL Server workload can reduce compute or licensed-vCPU capacity without relying on a generic utilization score. Upload customer-controlled collector evidence and receive a primary action-ready decision, with any smaller validation-required opportunity kept separate.
Read-only PowerShell collector · No AWS credentials · No automatic changes
Why RDS for SQL Server costs are difficult to right-size
Peak sizing hides usable capacity
Average CPU misses concurrent SQL and non-SQL demand. Savio projects the collected samples onto every candidate.
Licensing changes the economics
Instance size and visible vCPU can affect SQL Server licensing cost, including Optimize CPU opportunities that preserve memory and I/O.
CPU alone cannot approve a target
Memory, IOPS, throughput, tempdb, edition, orderability, and evidence quality must support the decision.
How the assessment works
Gather customer-controlled, read-only SQL Server workload evidence.
Submit the collector ZIP without granting AWS account credentials.
Review the primary target, confidence, guardrails, alternatives, and next action.
