What This Skill Does
Analyzes AWS account resources to identify cost reduction opportunities. Covers right-sizing compute instances, recommending Reserved Instances or Savings Plans, and flagging idle or underutilized resources.
Combines right-sizing, reservation analysis, and unused resource cleanup in one pass instead of navigating separate AWS console tools.
When to use it
- Identifying oversized EC2 instances running at low CPU utilization
- Finding unattached EBS volumes and unused Elastic IPs
- Comparing on-demand costs against Reserved Instance or Savings Plan pricing
- Auditing idle RDS databases or over-provisioned Lambda memory settings
- Generating a prioritized cost reduction report for engineering or finance teams
Example Workflow
Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.
User asks: What is wasting money in my AWS account this month?
- 1Reviews EC2 instance types against CPU and memory utilization metrics
- 2Checks for unattached EBS volumes, unused Elastic IPs, and idle load balancers
- 3Compares current on-demand spend against Reserved Instance and Savings Plan rates
- 4Identifies over-provisioned RDS instances and Lambda memory configurations
- 5Ranks findings by estimated monthly savings with specific resource IDs
Prioritized list of cost issues with resource identifiers, estimated savings per item, and recommended remediation steps
Requirements
Accounts, API keys, or tools you or your AI assistant may need to set up while using this skill.
