Now you have pulled together optimization data there different ways in which you can analyze and visualize it and use to make infrastructure optimization decisions
You can visualize Trusted Advisor Data with TAO Dashboard. To deploy TAO Dashboard please follow either automated or manual deployment steps and specify organizational data collection bucket created in this lab as a source
You can visualize Compute Optimizer Data with Compute Optimizer Dashboard. .
When a AMI gets created it takes a Snapshot of the volume. This is then needed to be kept in the account whilst the AMI is used. Once the AMI is released the Snapshot can no longer be used but it still incurs costs. Using this query we can identify Snapshots that have the ‘AMI Available’, those where the ‘AMI Removed’ and those that fall outside of this scope and are ‘NOT AMI’. Data must be collected and the crawler finished running before this query can be run.
Trusted advisor identifies idle and underutilized volumes. This query joins together the data so you can see what portion of your volumes are flagged. Data must be collected and the crawler finished running before this query can be run.
In these labs we have a couple of amazing cost dashboards that can be found here . If you would like to add your budget data into these dashboard please follow the below steps. Data must be collected and the crawler finished running before this query can be run. There is a saved query called aws_budgets created in the CloudFormation. This is used when connecting to dashboard.
If you wish to see whats volumes have what snapshots attached to them from a holistic view then this query can combine these two data sources. This could provide information into which snapshots you could archive using Elastic Block Storage Snapshots Archive
If you wish to connect to your Cost and Usage report for snapshot costs please use the below:
Report to show costs associated with ECS Tasks leveraging EC2 instances within a Cluster
