Terraform Cost Optimization Workflow

Analyze your Terraform configurations to identify cost optimization opportunities before resources are deployed

Examines your infrastructure-as-code for expensive configurations and missed cost-saving opportunities.

  • Oversized resources: EC2 instances, RDS databases, and storage allocations that are too large
  • Expensive storage configs: Costly storage classes and redundant backup setups
  • Network cost issues: Inefficient data transfer and NAT Gateway configurations
  • Reserved capacity gaps: Opportunities to use Reserved Instances and Savings Plans
  • Cost estimates: Projected savings from implementing recommendations
  1. Enable the workflow in your dashboard
  2. Set weekly scheduling or run before major deployments
  3. Review cost optimization recommendations
  4. Apply suggested Terraform configuration changes
