Cost optimization

Checks if an AWS account is part of AWS Organizations under the appropriate management account.

AWS Organizations is an account management service for consolidating multiple AWS accounts into a centrally-managed organization. This enables you to centrally structure accounts for billing consolidation and implement ownership and security policies as your workloads scale on AWS.

You can specify the management account id using the MasterAccountId parameter of the AWS Config rules.

For more information, see What is AWS Organizations?

AWS Config Managed Rule: account-part-of-organizations

Yellow: This AWS account is not part of AWS Organizations.

Add this AWS account as part of AWS Organizations.

Checks your Amazon Aurora DB cluster storage configurations and usage patterns to provide recommendations for potential cost savings.

For each resource, Trusted Advisor shows only the top recommended action from AWS Cost Optimization Hub.

To use this check, you must opt in to Cost Optimization Hub and AWS Compute Optimizer.

AWS Cost Optimization Hub

Yellow: An Aurora DB cluster storage has a cost savings action identified by Cost Optimization Hub.

Consider implementing the recommendation. The recommendation is one of the recommendation types listed in Understanding cost optimization strategies in the AWS Cost Management User Guide. For more information on implementing these recommendations, see the AWS Cloud Financial Management (CFM) Service Cost Optimization Playbook.

Use the detailed recommendations in AWS Compute Optimizer to understand the potential impact of these changes on cost and performance.

Checks the throughput configuration of your endpoints. This check alerts you when endpoints are not actively used for real-time inference requests. An endpoint that isn’t used for more than 15 consecutive days is considered underutilized. All endpoints accrue charges based on both the throughput set, and the length of time that the endpoint is active.

Yellow: The endpoint is active, but hasn’t been used for real-time inference requests in the past 15 days.

If the endpoint hasn’t been used in the past 15 days, we recommend that you define a scaling policy for the resource by using Application Autoscaling.

If the endpoint has a scaling policy defined and hasn’t been used in the past 30 days, consider deleting the endpoint and using asynchronous inference. For more information, see Deleting an endpoint with Amazon Comprehend.

Checks your Amazon DynamoDB usage patterns and provides recommendations for potential cost savings through reserved capacity purchases.

This check generates recommendations at payer scope for the payer account and at linked scope for a linked account.

Checks the Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volumes that were running at any time during the lookback period. This check alerts you if any EBS volumes were over-provisioned for your workloads. When you have over-provisioned volumes, you’re paying for unused resources. Although some scenarios can result in low optimization by design, you can often lower your costs by changing the configuration of your EBS volumes. Estimated monthly savings are calculated by using the current usage rate for EBS volumes. Actual savings vary if the volume isn’t present for a full month.

COr6dfpM03

Yellow: An EBS volume that was over-provisioned during the lookback period. To determine if a volume is over-provisioned, we consider all default CloudWatch metrics (including IOPS and throughput). The algorithm used to identify over-provisioned EBS volumes follows AWS best practices. The algorithm is updated when a new pattern has been identified.

Consider downsizing volumes that have low utilization.
