About this skill
What it does
The aws-cost-optimizer skill analyzes your AWS usage and provides recommendations to reduce costs. It identifies underutilized resources, suggests rightsizing instances, and helps you leverage reserved instances or savings plans. This allows for more efficient resource allocation and a lower overall cloud spend.
When to use it
- Unexpectedly high bills: Investigate spikes in AWS spending with detailed cost breakdowns.
- Resource optimization: Proactively identify opportunities to reduce costs by right-sizing EC2 instances or eliminating idle resources.
- Planning for growth: Forecast future cloud spend and optimize resource usage before scaling your infrastructure.
- Budget adherence: Ensure you stay within allocated budgets by identifying potential overspending areas.
Key capabilities
- Cost analysis & reporting
- Rightsizing recommendations
- Reserved Instance/Savings Plan suggestions
- Underutilized resource identification
Example prompts
- "Analyze my AWS costs for the last month and identify any significant anomalies."
- "What EC2 instances are currently oversized, and what would be a more appropriate size?"
- "Can you suggest Savings Plans to optimize my compute spending?"
Tips & gotchas
Requires access to your AWS account data. Ensure the AI agent has the necessary permissions to read cost and usage reports within your AWS environment for accurate analysis.
