Right-Sizing: Match your resources (CPU, RAM, storage) to actual needs and avoid over-provisioning.
Use Reserved or Spot Instances: Leverage reserved instances for predictable workloads and spot instances for temporary or flexible tasks.
Auto-Scaling: Enable auto-scaling to dynamically adjust resources based on demand.
Monitor and Optimize Usage: Use tools like AWS Cost Explorer, Azure Cost Management, or Google Cloud’s Pricing Calculator to track and manage spending.
Eliminate Unused Resources: Regularly audit and remove idle instances, orphaned storage volumes, or unused services.
Leverage Multi-Cloud or Hybrid Strategies: Distribute workloads across providers to benefit from competitive pricing.
Implement Storage Tiers: Use low-cost archival storage for infrequently accessed data.
