Analyze Cost Optimization Hub Recommendations

Overview

Review AWS Cost Optimization Hub recommendations, enrich delete and stop recommendations with AWS configuration, usage, and dependency context, and classify each recommendation by how safe it appears to act on. This plan summarizes projected savings by action, service, and resource type while distinguishing actions that appear ready to proceed from actions that require additional owner or business confirmation.

Execution Details

1. Assessment

  • Retrieve Cost Optimization Hub recommendations
    Collects current recommendations, affected resources, recommended actions, projected savings, and metadata needed for traceability.

  • Focus on delete and stop recommendations
    Selects recommendations that propose delete, terminate, remove, or stop actions for deeper safety review.

  • Gather resource configuration context
    Pulls AWS-side metadata such as tags, state, age, attachments, protection settings, and related configuration details.

  • Review usage and dependency signals
    Checks utilization, associations, dependencies, and AWS-native signals that indicate whether an action could be disruptive.

  • Classify recommendation safety per resource
    Marks reviewed recommendations as likely safe, likely unsafe, or needing user confirmation, with evidence and confidence notes.

  • Aggregate savings by action and resource type
    Calculates projected savings totals and breaks them down by action category, service, resource type, and safety classification.

2. Summary

  • Summarize findings and recommended actions
    Produces a final report with projected savings, recommendation groupings, per-resource safety conclusions, high-impact opportunities, and data gaps.
