Infrastructure Cost Optimization

This helps you find and eliminate cloud waste by identifying unattached EBS volumes, underutilized instances, and other resources burning money. The included scripts analyze AWS cost trends, scan for orphaned resources, and help you plan reserved instance purchases. It covers the basics of Kubernetes cost optimization too, with resource quotas and namespace-level tracking. The approach is straightforward: run the analysis scripts, review the output tables, and act on the findings. Nothing revolutionary here, but having these cost auditing scripts templated out saves you from writing the same AWS CLI queries every time finance asks why the bill went up.
