Cost savings in AWS EC2

Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) is a web service that provides resizable compute capacity in the cloud.

Below are the few cost saving techniques in EC2.

  • Identify running EC2 instances that are idle or underutilized. You can then reduce your costs by stopping or reducing them.
  • Use Compute Savings Plans to reduce EC2, Fargate and Lambda costs.
  • Use Spot Instances based on to get discounts of up to 90%.
  • Use Spot Fleet to combine spot instances with on-demand or reserved instances.
  • Downgrade or upgrade the instance type based on CPU usage.
  • Use AWS Billing and Cost Management tools to find out underused instances.
