CloudCostOptimization
Concrete techniques: right-sizing instances, spot/preemptible instances, storage tiering, unused-resource cleanup.
Why we need this / what value this brings
The biggest cost wins are usually a small number of oversized or idle resources, not death-by-a-thousand-cuts.
When to use this
Periodically, and any time a bill jumps unexpectedly.
How to use or implement this
Audit for oversized instances, unused storage/snapshots, and idle resources; right-size before considering reserved pricing.
