Amazon Web Services (AWS) announces that Amazon Q Developer now provides personalized cost optimization recommendations to help customers easily identify and implement savings opportunities. This new capability helps customers find and implement opportunities for rightsizing instances, purchasing Savings Plans and Reserved Instances, terminating idle resources, and more – all through natural language conversations. Amazon Q Developer combines recommendations from AWS Cost Optimization Hub with expert guidance to help customers accelerate their cost optimization journey and maximize savings.
With this launch, customers can ask Amazon Q Developer questions like “How can I lower my AWS bill?” to receive prioritized recommendations based on potential savings, implementation effort, and performance risk. Customers can also ask detailed follow-up questions like “How was this recommendation calculated?” or “How was this instance identified as idle?”, and receive narrative explanations including metrics, configurations, and customization options. Customers can also ask Amazon Q Developer to analyze their costs, check resource details, and receive step-by-step implementation guidance, completing more of their end-to-end cost optimization workflow through natural conversations.
This feature is available in the US East (N. Virginia) region, and provides cost optimization recommendations spanning all commercial AWS Regions, except the China Regions, and the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions.
To learn more about using Amazon Q Developer for cost optimization, see the Amazon Q Developer User Guide. To get started, simply open the Amazon Q chat panel in the AWS Management Console and ask about ways to optimize your costs.
