cost-optimization

Reduce cloud spending across AWS, Azure, GCP, and OCI through rightsizing, reserved capacity, and cost governance. Strategies and patterns for optimizing cloud costs across AWS, Azure, GCP, and OCI. Implement systematic cost optimization strategies to reduce cloud spending while maintaining performance and reliability. Reference: See references/tagging-standards.md - Covers four optimization pillars: visibility (tagging, dashboards, alerts), rightsizing (utilization analysis, auto-scaling), pricing models (reserved instances, spot/preemptible, savings plans), and architecture patterns (serverless, managed services, tiered storage) - Includes cloud-specific strategies: AWS reserved instances and savings plans (30–72% savings), Azure hybrid benefits, GCP committed use discounts (up to 57%), and OCI flexible shapes with preemptible capacity - Provides tagging standards, budget alert configuration, cost anomaly detection setup, and lifecycle policies for multi-tier storage optimization - Includes a 15-item cost optimization checklist covering resource cleanup, monitoring, and continuous optimization workflows - Reduce cloud spending - Right-size resources - Implement cost governance - Optimize multi-cloud costs - Meet budget constraints - Implement cost allocation tags - Use cloud cost management tools - Set up budget alerts - Create cost dashboards - Analyze resource utilization...
