Overview

Reduce infrastructure costs through intelligent resource allocation, reserved instances, spot instances, and continuous optimization without sacrificing performance.

When to Use

Cloud cost reduction
Budget management and tracking
Resource utilization optimization
Multi-environment cost allocation
Waste identification and elimination
Reserved instance planning
Spot instance integration

Quick Start

Minimal working example:

# cost-optimization-setup.yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: cost-optimization-scripts
  namespace: operations
data:
  analyze-costs.sh: |
    #!/bin/bash
    set -euo pipefail

    echo "=== AWS Cost Analysis ==="

    # Get daily cost trend
    echo "Daily costs for last 7 days:"
    aws ce get-cost-and-usage \
      --time-period Start=$(date -d '7 days ago' +%Y-%m-%d),End=$(date +%Y-%m-%d) \
      --granularity DAILY \
      --metrics "BlendedCost" \
      --group-by Type=DIMENSION,Key=SERVICE \
      --query 'ResultsByTime[*].[TimePeriod.Start,Total.BlendedCost.Amount]' \
      --output table

    # Find unattached resources
    echo -e "\n=== Unattached EBS Volumes ==="
// ... (see reference guides for full implementation)

Best Practices

✅ DO

Follow established patterns and conventions
Write clean, maintainable code
Add appropriate documentation
Test thoroughly before deploying

❌ DON'T

Skip testing or validation
Ignore error handling
Hard-code configuration values
