Cost Optimization Guides

Picking the right nha cung cap is only the first step. The bigger savings come from applying the right purchasing model and architecture to each tai vuong. This section collects CloudCost’s practical chi phi optimization huong dans — 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 tai vuongs are safe on spot, and how to mix spot with on-demand for reliability.

The CloudCost Savings Hierarchy

We recommend thinking ve cloud chi phi optimization in five layers, applied in order:

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

Each huong dan walks through one of these layers with concrete nha cung cap examples and pricing. Start with the reserved instances huong dan if you have steady-state tai vuongs, or the spot instances huong dan if your tai vuong is interruptible.
