View your savings opportunities in the AWS Billing and Cost Management console
Warning
We're currently releasing our new experience to a limited number of customers. You might not be able to access this experience yet.
Cost Optimization Hub is not supported for the Free Tier of our new AWS experience. When you upgrade to the Paid Plan, Cost Optimization Hub is automatically turned on for your account. For more information, see Upgrade your account in AWS Settings.
Cost Optimization Hub shows idle resources that you can delete for savings opportunities. You can choose individual resources to find more information or export your savings opportunities.
Cost Optimization Hub provides information about the savings opportunity:
Estimated cost (before discounts): The savings estimate using AWS public (On-Demand) pricing without incorporating any discounts.
Estimated other discounts: Estimated other discounts include all discounts that are not itemized, which includes Free Tier.
Estimated cost (after discounts): The savings estimate incorporating all discounts with AWS.
Estimated monthly savings: The estimated monthly savings amount for the recommendation. This is calculated by dividing the aggregated estimated monthly savings of your cost optimization opportunities by your amortized monthly AWS costs, exclusive of credits and refunds. The estimated monthly savings is a quick approximation of your future savings. Any actual savings are dependent on your future AWS usage.
Estimated savings percentage: The estimated savings percentage relative to the total cost.
We also provide information such as the resource ID, usage, and any tags associated with the resource.
Supported resources
The following resources are supported:
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances
Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling groups

Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) tasks on AWS Fargate

When you group related recommendations, Cost Optimization Hub identifies recommended actions that interact with each other, and it reduces estimated aggregated savings based on the degree of overlap. Cost Optimization Hub deduplicates amongst resource optimization strategies and proposes the recommendation with the highest savings. It also considers the reduction in usage by implementing the recommendations.
