  • Reserved Instances & Savings Plans - Commitment discounts for predictable workloads
  • Spot Instances - Up to 90% savings for fault-tolerant workloads
  • S3 Intelligent Tiering - Automatic storage class optimization

Key Concepts

  • Cost Explorer for spending analysis
  • Budgets and alerts for cost governance
  • Tagging strategy for cost allocation
  • Unused resource cleanup automation
