Guias de otimizacao de custos

Guias praticos para reduzir custos cloud com instancias reserved, instancias spot, autoscaling e tiering de armazenamento.

Cost Optimization Guides

Picking the right provedor is only the first step. The bigger savings come from applying the right purchasing model and architecture to each carga de trabalho. This section collects CloudCost’s practical custo optimization guias — 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 carga de trabalhos are safe on spot, and how to mix spot with on-demand for reliability.

The CloudCost Savings Hierarchy

We recommend thinking sobre cloud custo optimization in five layers, applied in order:

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

Each guia walks through one of these layers with concrete provedor examples and pricing. Start with the reservada instancias guia if you have steady-state carga de trabalhos, or the spot instancias guia if your carga de trabalho is interruptible.
