Cloud Repatriation & Savings Analyzer
Stop Running Fixed Workloads on Variable Pricing. Here Is Your Bare-Metal Blueprint.
Public cloud list pricing carries a significant premium over comparable dedicated hardware, largely for elasticity and managed services that steady-state workloads do not use. For just $249 per cloud account, we provide a comprehensive roadmap showing your exact savings, tailored migration architectures, 5-year forecasts, and a fixed-price migration quote.
We securely analyze infrastructure from:
You’re Likely Paying a 200% Premium for the Same Compute.
At scale, a growing share of cloud spend goes to elasticity and managed services that stable workloads never draw on. This assessment quantifies that gap for your specific footprint.
The Egress Markup
Major clouds charge significant fees for data transfer. Bare metal providers often include unmetered bandwidth or charge substantially less per GB. Egress shouldn’t dictate your architecture.
The Compute Markup
A vCPU is a vCPU. We cost out your exact infrastructure on high-performance providers like Hetzner and OVH to show you the raw, uninflated price difference for the same specs.
The Vendor Lock-In
Proprietary managed services are designed to make it hard to leave. We identify exactly which services can be easily self-hosted and which should remain in a hybrid cloud setup.
Data-Driven Clarity. A Concrete Plan for Repatriation.
The analysis quantifies the cost difference and maps the path to it, resource by resource. Our analyzer evaluates each of your selected cloud accounts to generate a deep-dive financial and technical blueprint.
Custom Migration Architectures
Receive 1 to 3 tailored migration plans (ranging from Hybrid Cloud to Full Bare Metal Repatriation) mapping your current cloud resources to specific bare metal equivalents.
Granular Savings Forecasts
A detailed financial breakdown of exactly how much money you will save if you implement our suggested plans, mapped out over Monthly, Year 1, Year 3, and Year 5 timelines.
Specific Hardware Recommendations
We take the guesswork out of hardware procurement. We recommend specific servers from vetted providers (e.g., OVH, Hetzner) matched to your current compute, memory, and IOPS needs.
Migration Complexity & Payback Period
We estimate the exact upfront cost of your migration and calculate your ROI - showing you exactly how many months it will take for your monthly savings to pay back the cost of the move.
Bonus: Free Idle Resource Detection & Spend Visibility.
Before you even generate your paid report, simply creating an account and connecting your cloud environments unlocks our free infrastructure intelligence dashboard.
Global Resource Mapping:
See every asset across AWS, GCP, Azure, and DigitalOcean in one unified inventory.
Granular Spend Analytics:
View your exact monthly spend broken down by resource type (Compute, Storage, Database, Egress) and by provider.
Idle Resource Detection:
We scan your accounts for resources that continue to incur charges without measured utilization. Instantly identify unattached EBS volumes, idle compute instances, unassigned Elastic IPs, and orphaned load balancers so you can cut wasted spend today.
Automated Analysis. Built for Finance and Engineering.
We simplify cloud cost optimization into a clear four-step process - from securely connecting your accounts to generating a detailed blueprint that shows exactly how moving to bare metal can reduce your costs.
Connect Your Accounts
Sign up and connect your cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP, DigitalOcean) via our secure, read-only integration.

What the report is, and what comes next
The Cloud Repatriation Analyzer is a rapid, high-level assessment. It quantifies your savings potential, identifies which workloads can move, recommends specific hardware, gives you a payback period, and quotes a one-time migration cost.
The detailed migration plan and its execution are delivered by the Yellowstone Labs engineering team, covered by that quoted migration cost. That includes dependency mapping, cutover sequencing, negotiated hardware procurement, server provisioning and configuration, data migration, and DevOps engineering through cutover.
We could run this analysis with an AI assistant ourselves. Why pay for this?
You can, and some teams do. What you would be taking on is the part that makes the output trustworthy and repeatable.
- No tooling to set up. No AWS, Azure, GCP, or DigitalOcean CLI configuration, no local credentials, no Claude Code environment, no scripts to maintain as provider APIs change.
- No prompting expertise required. The analysis logic is fixed and reviewed. You are not depending on how well a given question was phrased on a given day.
- No manual provider or server matching. We maintain current pricing and specifications for vetted bare metal providers and match your compute, memory, storage, and IOPS profile against them automatically.
- Consistent, purpose-built analysis. Every account is run through the same cost model, feasibility scoring, and migration logic, so two reports are directly comparable, and so is the same account three months apart.
- Output your CFO and your board can read. An executive dashboard and a structured PDF with payback period, one-, three-, and five-year projections, and a resource-by-resource plan. Not a chat transcript.
- Faster and repeatable. Minutes per account, re-runnable whenever your footprint changes, with no engineer time consumed.
A general-purpose assistant can produce a plausible answer. This produces a defensible one, on the same basis every time.
High-Value Analysis. Transparent Pricing.
A flat fee per cloud account analyzed. No subscription, no seat licenses, and no commitment to a migration.

The Industry Shift to Bare Metal.
Engineering organizations are moving steady-state workloads off public cloud to gain predictable unit costs. The figures below come from their own public disclosures.
37signals - Basecamp & HEY
By moving off the major cloud to their own infrastructure, they project $7 million in savings over five years.
Based on public statements and industry reports
Dropbox
Saved nearly $75 million over two years by optimizing their infrastructure and moving away from public cloud storage.
Based on public statements and industry reports
Ahrefs
Saved over $400 million in 3 years by refusing to use AWS and opting for colocation and bare metal servers.
Based on public statements and industry reports
Savings potential scales with the size of your cloud footprint.
