Optimize your AWS Application Discovery Service costs with these tips

Right-size Agents

Deploy only the necessary number of agents for data collection from on-premises servers. Keep in mind agents are billed hourly, so deploying more than needed increases costs.

Use Agentless Discovery

For certain workloads, agentless discovery with network sniffers can offer the needed insights. This reduces costs associated with deploying and managing agents on individual servers.

Delete Unused Tags/Attributes

Frequently check the tags and custom attributes collected by agents. Delete any that are no longer relevant to lower the cost of storing metadata. Refer to the AWS service quotas and limits documentation.
