AWS Cost Optimization & FinOps

Cut AWS spend with FinOps workflows. Finds unused resources, analyzes the bill, rightsizes EC2/RDS, evaluates Spot and Graviton, detects cost anomalies, compares Reserved Instances vs Savings Plans, and sets up tagging and budgets for cost allocation.

This skill runs structured AWS cost reviews: identifying idle and orphaned resources, rightsizing compute and databases, modeling Spot and Graviton migrations, detecting anomalies, comparing RIs vs Savings Plans, implementing cost-allocation tags, and configuring AWS Budgets for ongoing control.
