Challenges

  • Increasing demands of Infra
  • Unmeasured usages
  • Improper tracking of resource ownership
    • Process Process

    Process

    1. Identifying Existing Workload Costs and Usage:

  • Utilized AWS Cost Explorer: Analyzed cost and usage data across all accounts to identify trends, determine cost drivers, and detect anomalies.

    • 2. Deleting Unused Resources:

  • Leveraged AWS Config rules: Detected and eliminated unused resources like EC2 instances, Amazon EBS volumes, Load Balancers, Elastic IP addresses, and old snapshots, reducing charges related to unused storage.

    • 3. Downgrading Over-provisioned Instances:

  • Used AWS Compute Optimizer: Analyzed historical resource usage patterns and performance metrics of EC2 instances to rightsize them, potentially downgrading over-provisioned instances and upsizing under-provisioned ones.

    • 4. Scheduling Non-business Hours:

  • Implemented EC2 Instance Scheduler: Suspended non-production resources like RDS databases and EC2 instances during non-business hours and weekends, optimizing resource utilization and reducing operational expenses.

    • 5. Upgrading EBS Volumes:

  • Transitioned from gp2 to gp3 volumes: Enhanced performance and reduced costs by switching to Amazon EBS gp3 volumes, which offer better price-to-performance ratio

    • 6. Utilizing Amazon S3 Intelligent-Tiering:

  • Implemented automatic cost optimization based on access patterns, transferring objects between frequent and infrequent access tiers to reduce storage costs.
