Talk about your AWS bill
Send a message and you get a reply from Hermann Lotter, usually within one business day. You can ask a question, request a free bill analysis, or book a 30 minute call. There is no sales team in between, and a question does not have to turn into an engagement.

Who you are reaching
Easy Entropy is run by Hermann Lotter, a FinOps practitioner who has spent years cutting AWS spend inside real engineering organisations rather than writing about it from the outside. The guides on this site, from Savings Plans versus Reserved Instances to the NAT Gateway case study, come out of that day to day work.
Based in South Africa, working with teams anywhere.

What happens next
- You send a message, or book a call, or upload a bill on the home page.
- You get a reply from Hermann, usually within one business day.
- If you sent a bill, the reply includes where the spend is going and what to change first, ranked by impact and effort.
- You decide whether you want help implementing it. Plenty of people take the list and do it themselves, which is a fine outcome.
Your bill and anything you send stays private. See the privacy policy.
Common questions
What does the free AWS bill analysis include?
You send a recent AWS bill and get back a prioritised list of where the spend is going and what to change first, ranked by impact and effort. No access to your AWS account is needed for the first pass, and there is no obligation after it.
How quickly will I get a reply?
Usually within one business day. Easy Entropy is a one-person practice, so the reply comes from Hermann directly rather than from a sales team.
Do I need to be a large AWS account to be worth talking to?
No. The same waste patterns show up at every size, and the fixes on a $10k a month bill are largely the fixes on a $200k a month bill. The savings percentage tends to be similar, only the absolute number changes.
What if I just want to ask a question?
That is fine, and it does not have to turn into an engagement. Use the form or email contact@easyentropy.com and ask. Plenty of questions are answered in a reply rather than a proposal.
