Cost Optimizer
Cost Optimizer scans spend patterns and turns them into a prioritized list of savings opportunities. It helps teams understand where money is leaking, what changes would matter most, and how to communicate those recommendations clearly. Engineering leaders, finance operators, and platform teams benefit when cloud and AI costs are growing faster than visibility. The skill is useful for recurring optimization reviews, budget conversations, and identifying quick wins without manually digging through every line item. Its production-grade advantage is prioritization. The output emphasizes ranked recommendations, projected savings, and a concise summary so the review can drive real action rather than producing another dense cost report.

Cost Optimization Brief
Review Period: February 2026 Total Reviewed Spend: $127,400 Total Projected Savings: $18,200/month ($218,400/year) Quick Win Savings (0-2 weeks): $8,600/month Medium-Term Savings (2-8 weeks): $9,600/month
Executive Summary
The largest single savings opportunity is switching GPT-4o to GPT-4o-mini for the classification pipeline ($4,200/month, zero quality impact based on 500-sample evaluation). Combined with 14 idle EBS volumes ($840/month) and 3 oversized RDS instances ($3,560/month), the team can recover $8,600/month within two weeks. A 1-year Savings Plan on the stable EC2 fleet would save an additional $9,600/month.
Ranked Optimization Opportunities
| # | Opportunity | Category | Est. Monthly Savings | Effort | Risk | |---|-------------|----------|---------------------|--------|------| | 1 | Switch GPT-4o → GPT-4o-mini for classification | AI/LLM | $4,200 | Low | Low | | 2 | Rightsize 3 RDS instances (db.r6g.xlarge → db.r6g.large) | Database | $3,560 | Medium | Medium | | 3 | Delete 14 unattached EBS volumes | Compute | $840 | Low | Low | | 4 | 1-year Savings Plan on stable EC2 fleet | Compute | $9,600 | Low | Low |
AI/LLM Spend Analysis
| Model | Current Monthly | Recommended Change | Projected Savings | |-------|----------------|-------------------|-------------------| | GPT-4o | $7,800 | Route classification + extraction to GPT-4o-mini | $4,200/month | | Claude 3.5 Sonnet | $3,200 | Enable prompt caching for support ticket analysis | $960/month |
Recommended 30-Day Action Plan
- Week 1: Delete 14 idle EBS volumes + switch classification pipeline to GPT-4o-mini
- Week 2-3: Rightsize 3 RDS instances (requires maintenance window)
- Week 4: Purchase 1-year Savings Plan for EC2 fleet ($9,600/mo savings)
