This process helps eliminate over-provisioned or under-utilized resources, leading to cost savings and improved performance. By rightsizing instances, organizations can ensure that they are not paying for more resources than necessary while maintaining optimal application performance.
How to Right-Size Cloud Resources?
- Monitor compute, memory, and storage usage to identify underutilized or overutilized instances.
- Leverage tools like AWS Trusted Advisor, Azure Advisor, or GCP Recommender to get recommendations on resizing instances.
- Experiment with different instance sizes to find the optimal configuration that balances cost and performance.
- Implement automation tools to continuously monitor and rightsize instances based on real-time data.
- Make rightsizing a regular practice to adjust for changes in workload requirements over time.
