A company is reviewing their AWS resource usage and wants to ensure they are utilizing their EC2 instances efficiently to optimize costs. Which approach would BEST align with the concept of rightsizing?
Reduce the number of EC2 instances by half to cut costs, assuming that high availability can be slightly compromised.
Move all workloads to the newest-generation EC2 instances available to benefit from the latest technology.
Opt for the least expensive EC2 instances regardless of performance to ensure the lowest possible operational costs.
Monitor usage patterns and adjust instance sizes or counts based on historical data and predicted demands.
Monitoring resource utilization and adjusting the size or quantity based on demand is the core of rightsizing. This process ensures that the company pays only for the computing resources needed without overprovisioning. Choosing the newest-generation instance might not result in cost savings if it's not the appropriate size, and solely considering cost without performance could lead to hampered operations. Reducing the number of instances without analyzing usage patterns might not meet the demand and can lead to performance issues.
