aid: amazon-compute-optimizer name: Amazon Compute Optimizer description: >- Amazon Compute Optimizer analyzes the configuration and utilization metrics of your AWS resources and provides recommendations to help you identify optimal AWS resource configurations. It uses machine learning to analyze historical utilization metrics and generates rightsizing recommendations for EC2 instances, Auto Scaling groups, EBS volumes, Lambda functions, ECS services on Fargate, and RDS instances to help reduce costs and improve performance. type: Index deliveryModel: model: saas open_source: false commercial: true callable_host: true label: Hosted service · you call their endpoint confidence: high source: -
