Stateless, interruption-tolerant workloads only.

55%

AWS says up to 90% vs On-Demand. Yours varies by instance and region.

40%

What I review

Six places money usually hides.

Node groups and autoscaling

Instance shapes, utilization, Karpenter or Cluster Autoscaler config.

Pod requests and limits

Oversized requests are the usual root of oversized nodes.

Savings Plans and Spot coverage

What's committed, what could be, what's interruption-tolerant.

Idle load balancers and volumes

Unattached EBS, old snapshots, LBs with no targets.

Data transfer

NAT gateway traffic, cross-AZ chatter, egress.

Log retention

CloudWatch log groups set to never expire.

Deliverable

A ranked list, not a slide deck.
