# Cloud Cost Optimization

Strategies and patterns for optimizing cloud costs across AWS, Azure, GCP, and OCI.

## Purpose

Implement systematic cost optimization strategies to reduce cloud spending while maintaining performance and reliability.

## When to Use

- Reduce cloud spending
- Right-size resources
- Implement cost governance
- Optimize multi-cloud costs
- Meet budget constraints

## Cost Optimization Framework

### 1. Visibility

- Implement cost allocation tags
- Use cloud cost management tools
- Set up budget alerts
- Create cost dashboards

### 2. Right-Sizing

- Analyze resource utilization
- Downsize over-provisioned resources
- Use auto-scaling
- Remove idle resources

### 3. Pricing Models

- Use reserved capacity
- Leverage spot/preemptible instances
- Implement savings plans
- Use committed use discounts

### 4. Architecture Optimization

- Use managed services
- Implement caching
- Optimize data transfer
- Use lifecycle policies

## AWS Cost Optimization

### Reserved Instances

```
Savings: 30-72% vs On-Demand
Term: 1 or 3 years
Payment: All/Partial/No upfront
Flexibility: Standard or Convertible
```

### Savings Plans

```
Compute Savings Plans: 66% savings
EC2 Instance Savings Plans: 72% savings
Applies to: EC2, Fargate, Lambda
Flexible across: Instance families, regions, OS
```

### Spot Instances

```
Savings: Up to 90% vs On-Demand
Best for: Batch jobs, CI/CD, stateless workloads
Risk: 2-minute interruption notice
Strategy: Mix with On-Demand for resilience
```

### S3 Cost Optimization

```hcl
resource "aws_s3_bucket_lifecycle_configuration" "example" {
  bucket = aws_s3_bucket.example.id

  rule {
    id     = "transition-to-ia"
    status = "Enabled"

    transition {
      days          = 30
      storage_class = "STANDARD_IA"
    }

    transition {
      days          = 90
      storage_class = "GLACIER"
    }

    expiration {
      days = 365
    }
  }
}
```

## Azure Cost Optimization

### Reserved VM Instances

- 1 or 3 year terms
- Up to 72% savings
- Flexible sizing
- Exchangeable

### Azure Hybrid Benefit

- Use existing Windows Server licenses
- Up to 80% savings with RI
- Available for Windows and SQL Server

### Azure Advisor Recommendations

- Right-size VMs
- Delete unused resources
- Use reserved capacity
- Optimize storage

## GCP Cost Optimization

### Committed Use Discounts

- 1 or 3 year commitment
- Up to 57% savings
- Applies to vCPUs and memory
- Resource-based or spend-based

### Sustained Use Discounts

- Automatic discounts
- Up to 30% for running instances
- No commitment required
- Applies to Compute Engine, GKE

### Preemptible VMs

- Up to 80% savings
- 24-hour maximum runtime
- Best for batch workloads

## OCI Cost Optimization

### Flexible Shapes

- Scale OCPUs and memory independently
- Match instance sizing to workload demand
- Reduce wasted capacity from fixed VM shapes

### Commitments and Budgets

- Use annual commitments for predictable spend
- Set compartment-level budgets with alerts
- Track monthly forecasts with OCI Cost Analysis

### Preemptible Capacity

- Use preemptible instances for batch and ephemeral workloads
- Keep interruption-tolerant autoscaling groups
- Mix with standard capacity for critical services

## Tagging Strategy

### AWS Tagging

```hcl
locals {
  common_tags = {
    Environment = "production"
    Project     = "my-project"
    CostCenter  = "engineering"
    Owner       = "[email protected]"
    ManagedBy   = "terraform"
  }
}

resource "aws_instance" "example" {
  ami           = "ami-12345678"
  instance_type = "t3.medium"

  tags = merge(
    local.common_tags,
    {
      Name = "web-server"
    }
  )
}
```

**Reference:** See `references/tagging-standards.md`

## Cost Monitoring

### Budget Alerts

```hcl
# AWS Budget
resource "aws_budgets_budget" "monthly" {
  name              = "monthly-budget"
  budget_type       = "COST"
  limit_amount      = "1000"
  limit_unit        = "USD"
  time_period_start = "2024-01-01_00:00"
  time_unit         = "MONTHLY"

  notification {
    comparison_operator        = "GREATER_THAN"
    threshold                  = 80
    threshold_type            = "PERCENTAGE"
    notification_type         = "ACTUAL"
    subscriber_email_addresses = ["[email protected]"]
  }
}
```

### Cost Anomaly Detection

- AWS Cost Anomaly Detection
- Azure Cost Management alerts
- GCP Budget alerts
- OCI Budgets and Cost Analysis

## Architecture Patterns

### Pattern 1: Serverless First

- Use Lambda/Functions for event-driven
- Pay only for execution time
- Auto-scaling included
- No idle costs

### Pattern 2: Right-Sized Databases

```
Development: t3.small RDS
Staging: t3.large RDS
Production: r6g.2xlarge RDS with read replicas
```

### Pattern 3: Multi-Tier Storage

```
Hot data: S3 Standard
Warm data: S3 Standard-IA (30 days)
Cold data: S3 Glacier (90 days)
Archive: S3 Deep Archive (365 days)
```

### Pattern 4: Auto-Scaling

```hcl
resource "aws_autoscaling_policy" "scale_up" {
  name                   = "scale-up"
  scaling_adjustment     = 2
  adjustment_type        = "ChangeInCapacity"
  cooldown              = 300
  autoscaling_group_name = aws_autoscaling_group.main.name
}

resource "aws_cloudwatch_metric_alarm" "cpu_high" {
  alarm_name          = "cpu-high"
  comparison_operator = "GreaterThanThreshold"
  evaluation_periods  = "2"
  metric_name         = "CPUUtilization"
  namespace           = "AWS/EC2"
  period              = "60"
  statistic           = "Average"
  threshold           = "80"
  alarm_actions       = [aws_autoscaling_policy.scale_up.arn]
}
```
