Cloud benchmarks for AWS, Azure, cost control and DevOps maturity
Benchmark your cloud setup against practical indicators used by SaaS, platform and operations teams. Understand whether your AWS, Azure, support model, cost controls and DevOps processes are helping growth — or quietly creating risk.
Why benchmark your cloud setup?
Cloud problems rarely appear all at once. They build quietly through small gaps: unused resources, unclear ownership, manual deployments, weak alerting, inconsistent support cover and infrastructure that only one or two people properly understand.

Frequently asked questions
What is a cloud benchmark?+
A cloud benchmark compares your current cost, support, governance or delivery setup against practical indicators used by mature cloud teams — so you can see where you sit and what to prioritise next.
Which cloud benchmark should I start with?+
Start where the pain is loudest. If bills are rising, begin with the Cloud Cost Benchmark. If incidents are frequent, start with AWS or Azure Support. If releases are slow or risky, start with DevOps Maturity.
Are these benchmarks for AWS, Azure or both?+
Both. The cost and DevOps benchmarks apply across AWS and Azure. The support benchmarks are platform-specific so the questions stay practical.
How often should a cloud setup be benchmarked?+
We recommend a structured review at least annually, and after major changes such as a migration, a new product launch, a funding event or a leadership change.
Can IG CloudOps help implement the improvements?+
Yes. We support teams through PAYG consulting, project delivery and 24/7 managed CloudOps — picking the right model based on the gaps a benchmark surfaces.
Not sure which benchmark matters most?
If your cloud setup feels expensive, fragile, slow or difficult to support, we can help you benchmark the right area first and turn the findings into a practical improvement plan.
