AWS Optimization Assessment Report
Executive Summary
All values are illustrative demo data. Not guaranteed. Savings depend on actual AWS usage and configuration. Carbon estimates use indicative methodology.
Cloud Waste Findings
| Resource | Service | Region | Finding | Est. Monthly Cost | Impact |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| i-0a3f7d8c9e1b2 (demo) | EC2 | eu-central-1 | Idle >14 days — 0–2% CPU utilisation | €420 / mo | High |
| i-0b4e8f9a0c2d3 (demo) | EC2 | eu-central-1 | Over-provisioned (m5.2xlarge, avg 8% CPU) — downsize candidate | €640 / mo | High |
| vol-05d6e7f8a9b0c (demo) | EBS | eu-central-1 | Unattached volume — not connected to any instance | €38 / mo | Medium |
| db-0f1a2b3c4d5e6 (demo) | RDS | eu-west-1 | Multi-AZ on dev/test instance — single-AZ sufficient | €310 / mo | High |
| s3://acme-logs-archive (demo) | S3 | eu-central-1 | High-frequency access tier on infrequently accessed archive data | €72 / mo | Medium |
| i-0c5f9e8d7a6b5 (demo) | EC2 | eu-central-1 | Scheduled stop candidate — workload runs only business hours | €290 / mo → €90 | Medium |
Prioritized Action Plan
Actions ranked by estimated savings and implementation complexity. Each action requires explicit customer approval before execution.
-
1
Stop or terminate idle EC2 instance i-0a3f7d8c9e1b2 (demo)
Instance has shown 0–2% CPU utilisation for >14 days with no active connections. Recommend stopping and evaluating for termination after owner confirmation. Risk: low. Rollback: restart instance.
€420/ month saved -
2
Downsize EC2 i-0b4e8f9a0c2d3 from m5.2xlarge → m5.large (demo)
Average 8% CPU over 30 days. Downsizing to m5.large provides sufficient headroom for observed workload. Risk: medium — validate peak usage before approval. Rollback: resize up.
€480/ month saved -
3
Convert RDS db-0f1a2b3c4d5e6 from Multi-AZ to Single-AZ (demo)
Multi-AZ is appropriate for production workloads but unnecessary for dev/test. Conversion recommended after confirming environment use. Risk: low (dev/test). Rollback: convert back to Multi-AZ.
€310/ month saved -
4
Schedule EC2 i-0c5f9e8d7a6b5 to stop outside business hours (demo)
Workload operates Mon–Fri 08:00–18:00 CET. Scheduled stop/start (AWS Instance Scheduler) reduces running hours by ~65%. Risk: low. Rollback: remove schedule.
€200/ month saved -
5
Move S3 archive to Infrequent Access tier (demo)
Log archive bucket accessed <1×/month. Moving to S3 Standard-IA reduces storage cost. Risk: very low. Rollback: change storage class back.
€52/ month saved
Carbon Impact Estimate
Indicative estimates based on AWS usage data and EU regional grid intensity factors. GreenPilot's carbon methodology is in active development — these figures are illustrative and should not be used for regulatory reporting.
EU Governance Observations
Observations based on read-only cloud configuration data. GreenPilot does not provide legal advice. These observations are intended to support internal review, not to constitute compliance assessment.
Data residency
Primary workloads observed in eu-central-1 (Frankfurt) and eu-west-1 (Ireland). No cross-region data transfers to non-EU regions detected in assessed configuration. (demo)
Emissions visibility
Cloud-related emissions can now be estimated at resource level. Optimizing assessed resources may reduce the customer's estimated cloud-service emissions footprint by approximately 1.4 t CO₂e/year. (demo)
Unattached resources
One unattached EBS volume identified. Unattached resources represent an unnecessary attack surface. Recommend tagging policy review to prevent recurrence. (demo)
