|
## Cost Optimization Strategies
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### 1. Infrastructure Consolidation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Target**: 30-40% cost reduction
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Actions**:
|
||
|
|
- Shared Kubernetes clusters
|
||
|
|
- Shared database services
|
||
|
|
- Unified monitoring stack
|
||
|
|
- Consolidated storage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Benefits**:
|
||
|
|
- Reduced infrastructure overhead
|
||
|
|
- Better resource utilization
|
||
|
|
- Lower operational costs
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### 2. Resource Right-Sizing
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Strategy**: Match resources to actual needs
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Actions**:
|
||
|
|
- Monitor resource usage
|
||
|
|
- Adjust based on metrics
|
||
|
|
- Use auto-scaling
|
||
|
|
- Remove unused resources
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Tools**:
|
||
|
|
- Cloud cost management tools
|
||
|
|
- Resource monitoring
|
||
|
|
- Usage analytics
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### 3. Reserved Instances
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Strategy**: Commit to long-term usage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Actions**:
|
||
|
|
- Identify stable workloads
|
||
|
|
- Purchase reserved instances
|
||
|
|
- Use spot/preemptible for dev
|
||
|
|
- Optimize commitment terms
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Savings**: 30-70% on committed resources
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### 4. Auto-Scaling
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Strategy**: Scale resources based on demand
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Benefits**:
|
||
|
|
- Pay only for what you use
|
||
|
|
- Handle traffic spikes
|
||
|
|
- Optimize for cost
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Implementation**:
|
||
|
|
```yaml
|
||
|
|
autoscaling:
|
||
|
|
minReplicas: 2
|
||
|
|
maxReplicas: 10
|
||
|
|
targetCPUUtilizationPercentage: 70
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|

## Cost Monitoring
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Key Metrics
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Track:
|
||
|
|
- Infrastructure costs per project
|
||
|
|
- Resource utilization
|
||
|
|
- Cost per transaction/user
|
||
|
|
- Cost trends over time
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Cost Allocation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**By Project**:
|
||
|
|
- Tag resources by project
|
||
|
|
- Track costs per project
|
||
|
|
- Allocate shared costs
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**By Environment**:
|
||
|
|
- Separate dev/staging/prod costs
|
||
|
|
- Optimize dev/staging
|
||
|
|
- Monitor production costs
|
||
|
|
|
||
