OKR template to optimize AWS Costs
The primary objective of this OKR is to optimize AWS costs. Steps include decreasing the current AWS monthly expenses by a notable 15% and identifying any unnecessary AWS resources for elimination. Further measures include the implementation of various cost-saving methods such as the utilization of reserved and spot instances.
Implementation of automatic scaling, resource utilization monitoring, EC2 optimization, and AWS Cost Explorer are initiatives aimed at proactive cost-effectiveness and optimization. Identifying redundancy and carrying out regular monitoring of AWS resources ensures continued efficacy and eliminates wastage.
Utilizing Reserved instances and Savings Plans are targeted to save on compute and database service costs. Regular cost analysis and reports detailing achieved savings and potential areas of opportunity are planned to track and evaluate optimization effectiveness.
Unused or redundant AWS resources will be removed or terminated immediately, and regular audits involving the review of all AWS resources will be conducted. This will ensure cost savings and provide a clear insight into usage patterns aiding future cost optimization efforts.
