Review Amazon SageMaker spend and identify potential savings opportunities from unused or forgotten resources. This plan uses recent Cost Explorer spend, limits detailed inspection to spend-bearing Regions, inventories persistent SageMaker resources, checks targeted CloudWatch metrics and logs where useful, and produces an evidence-based summary of resources that may be safe candidates for cleanup or deeper owner review.
Triage SageMaker spend and define scan scope
Confirms recent SageMaker spend, identifies spend-bearing Regions, and determines whether resource-level attribution is available before scanning resources.
Inventory persistent SageMaker resources by Region
Builds a bounded inventory of persistent SageMaker resources such as endpoints, notebook instances, Studio domains, apps, users, and spaces in Regions with spend.
Shortlist suspect persistent resources
Uses low-cost inventory fields such as status, age, last modified time, and Region spend context to identify resources that may be forgotten or underused.
Check targeted CloudWatch metrics for shortlisted resources
Uses SageMaker endpoint metrics and validated resource-specific metrics where available to distinguish active resources from potentially inactive ones.
Deep inspect remaining suspect resources
Performs describe calls and targeted CloudWatch Logs checks only for the reduced suspect set to gather stronger evidence of activity or inactivity.
