Choosing a Cost Saving Tool
For AWS resources used by your team (e.g. development and test environments) you have options to control those costs.
AWS Savings Plan
- Your team works 24x7x365
- Or at least 80% of that
- You know what the next year holds for you

- They get sick
- You have public holidays
- People have different schedules
- They work overtime to meet deadlines
- You’re spread across time zones
- You’re supporting production 24×7
