AWS has made it easier to deploy new services and applications. As recently most
enterprises were focused on migrating to this place, they had not looked at reducing
AWS utilizations and costs, resulting in over using instances and under using
infrastructure.
Developers and infrastructure engineers are often very happy with their new found
productivity and flexibility, until they exceed their budget.

Let's see a handy list of some easy tools
to save costs on AWS

Amazon CloudWatch provides monitoring for AWS
cloud resources. By setting up a billing alarm, you can
tell CloudWatch to inform you whenever your account
has reached a certain amount.
We recommend defining the alarm’s dollar amount by
first analyzing the reports that CloudWatch provides
on previous months expenses, so you can determine
an average that, once reached, you want to be
informed. Make sure you configure an email
notification, so you can know as soon as you open
your inbox.

One of the best ways to cut down your AWS spending
is through AWS Reserved Instances. You can use them
to lower the resources you’re already using, by allowing
you to pay a lower effective rate than the price you
would pay on demand, for 1 or 3 years.
A single 3-year Reserved Instance is still significantly
cheaper than the cost of on-demand or three 1-year
reservations. You will need to choose the correct
number and combination of RI types to maximize
savings.

Spot instances allow a customer to purchase
unused Amazon EC2 computer capacity at a highly-
reduced rate. Instances are acquired through a
bidding process in which the customer specifies a
price per hour he is willing to pay.
Spot instances prices are 75% lower than On
Demand prices. Consider that Spot instances work
best when your company is using hundreds or
thousands or machines for a short time. They are not
recommended for real-time services, like web
applications.

Auto Scaling is an Amazon technology which allows to
increase/decrease the number of your instances in EC2
depending on the set conditions: instance loads, traffic
volume, etc.
This way, you can always be sure that your project is
going to live even with fast traffic growth, and even in
the case of minimum number of visitors no cent is going
to be wasted on idle capacities.
