Cost Optimization Guides

Picking the right szolgaltato is only the first step. The bigger savings come from applying the right purchasing model and architecture to each munkaterheles. This section collects CloudCost’s practical koltseg optimization utmutatos — each one focused on a single mechanism that can cut your bill by 30 to 90 percent without sacrificing performance.

Available Guides

• Reserved Instances — when to commit, 1-year vs 3-year, and how to stagger reservations to avoid lock-in.
• Spot Instances — how to design for interruption, which munkaterheless are safe on spot, and how to mix spot with on-demand for reliability.

The CloudCost Savings Hierarchy

We recommend thinking rol cloud koltseg optimization in five layers, applied in order:

1. Right-size — match peldany type to actual utilization, not peak. Most munkaterheless run at 10 to 20 percent CPU and could use a smaller peldany or a burstable family.
2. Commit — convert steady-state on-demand spend to 1-year or 3-year foglalt peldanys or savings plans for 30 to 72 percent savings.
3. Spot — move interruptible munkaterheless (batch, CI, stateless web) to spot for 70 to 90 percent savings.
4. Tier tarolas — move cold data to infrequent-access or archive tiers for 50 to 95 percent tarolas savings.
5. Optimize egress — use CDNs, compression, and the right regio to cut data transfer koltsegs.

Each utmutato walks through one of these layers with concrete szolgaltato examples and pricing. Start with the foglalt peldanys utmutato if you have steady-state munkaterheless, or the spot peldanys utmutato if your munkaterheles is interruptible.
