Best Practices for Optimizing Your Cloud Spend with AI
summary
Weekly cost rating (star) system ties product teams to chargebacks that affect bonuses, and CICD+CCM surfaces deployment cost before rollout. AI generates dashboard tiles and natural‑language YAML policies, enabling auto-stop non-prod and prompts like “shut sandbox over $500/month.” Automation removes idle resources (unattached EBS, unused DynamoDB) that save ~$100–$200 each but scale to thousands, and AI prioritizes the top 51 savings opportunities weekly while weighting performance versus 100% savings.
