Optimize your Amazon EC2 costs with these tips

Rightsize Instances

Make sure to analyze your instance use with the free CloudWatch agent. This allows you to monitor memory usage for the instances and check if you are using the right instance sizing. A good rule of thumb is to half the instance type when your average CPU and memory usage is less than 40% over a 4-week period.

Opt for Savings Plans

With the AWS Savings Plan you can reduce your EC2, Lambda and ECS Fargate costs. Ideally you would pick the no-upfront savings plan for a longer term. If you are using AWS organizations make sure to share the savings plan. Purchase saving plans incrementally so you can stack them and utilize them fully.
