Optimize over time
You can optimize cost over time by reviewing new instance types and implementing them in your workload. As AWS releases new instances and features, it is a best practice to review your existing architectural decisions to verify that they remain cost effective. As your requirements change, be aggressive in decommissioning resources, components, and workloads that you no longer require.
Consider the following best practices to help you optimize over time. While optimizing your workloads over time and improving your CFM culture in your organization, evaluate the cost of effort for operations in the cloud, review your time-consuming cloud operations, and automate them to reduce human efforts and cost by adopting related AWS services, third-party products, or custom tools (like AWS CLI or AWS SDKs)
