Many customers spend more money on AWS as actually neccessary
There are many possibilites to reduce your AWS bill, please take a look in out Blog
Cost optimization strategies | How to save money on AWS
In this blog we will only focus on one aspect of the list:
Reduce usage hours
If you have read the blog about cost savings you know by know what this is all about.
Stop your EC2 and RDS instances if they are not in use.
This might not be possible for all of your instances, some might have to run 24/7, like a webserver,
but for sure you might have some servers which are not used and accessed some hours a day.
For example out of the business hours between 7pm and 7am.
The calculation is simple. If you stop your instances 12h each day, you will save 50% of your cost.
If you have identified these instances, as mentioned can be EC2 and also RDS instances, you
can define the time you want to run the machines and not to run.
This might differ from Stage to Stage also, for example you might want to stop your servers and DEV and QA at night, but of
course not on PROD.
Wouldn't it be great to have an automation for starting and stopping instances you can select with for example a Tag ?
