Right Sizing Instances

Rightsizing starts with monitoring and analyzing your current services being used. In fact, Rightsizing tops the list of cost optimization four pillars

An observation period of at least two weeks or maybe even a month will give you sufficient information on the instance performance and usage patterns while also showing you the peak of your workload.

The metrics that define instance performance include:

  1. vCPU utilization
  2. Memory utilization
  3. Network utilization
  4. Disk usage

Right-sizing functionality is available as a native feature of AWS Compute Optimizer. Details here: https://aws.amazon.com/compute-optimizer/
