AWS Cost Optimisation

Are Rising AWS Costs Forcing You to Rethink Cloud? You Have Better Options!

Are you considering moving away from cloud infrastructure due to increasing AWS costs? You’re not alone! Many companies and startups struggle with skyrocketing cloud expenses, often assuming that returning to on-premises infrastructure is the only solution. But that’s not the answer!

The truth is, many businesses overspend on AWS simply because they don’t know how to optimise costs effectively. The good news? You don’t have to figure it out alone or invest extra time and money to start saving. Partnering with an AWS expert like Restack can reveal numerous cost-saving opportunities—many of which are built into AWS itself!

 

Quick Wins: Easy Ways to Cut AWS Costs

Before diving into deeper optimisation, there are straightforward steps you can take to reduce unnecessary cloud spending:

  • Eliminate Unused Resources – Identify and terminate idle resources. If a resource isn’t needed, remove it. If it doesn’t need to run 24/7, schedule it to operate only when required.
  • Right size Your Instances – Continuously monitor and adjust your resource usage. Select the smallest instance type that meets your workload requirements.
  • Use Auto Scaling – Dynamically scale resources up or down to match demand, preventing overprovisioning.
  • Clean Up Regularly – Remove unused storage, snapshots, AMIs, and interfaces. Automate cleanup where possible.
  • Set Up AWS Budgets – Use AWS Budgets to receive alerts before costs spiral out of control.
  • Implement Resource Tagging – Enforce tagging policies to improve transparency and accountability.

Once you’ve tackled these foundational steps, it’s time to explore deeper cost optimisation strategies.
