AWS Cost Optimization

Purpose

Reduce cloud spend by finding where the money actually goes, which is rarely where people assume. Most cost work targets compute; most surprises are in data transfer, logging, and idle resources.

When to Use

• The bill grew and nobody can explain why.
• Before committing to reserved capacity or savings plans.
• Reviewing an architecture for cost as a design property.
• Setting up cost attribution and budgets.
