An AWS cost optimization playbook for FinOps Leads who need durable savings, not one-time wins - rightsizing every fleet, sizing commitments to the steady-state workload, and the storage discipline that stops the bill from coming back.
Every EC2 instance, RDS instance, ElastiCache node, and OpenSearch domain gets a rightsizing recommendation. Most production fleets we audit have 20 to 35 percent of instances oversized, and the savings concentrate in the fleets nobody has looked at in two years.
Reserved instances and Savings Plans are leaving money on the table at most real estate SaaS companies. We size commitments to the steady-state workload, leave the variable portion on on-demand, and treat unused commitments as a metric the team is accountable for.
S3 lifecycle policies. EBS volume right-typing. Snapshot retention rules. The storage tail is rarely the headline, but it compounds - and it is the part of the bill that grows even when usage does not.
