AWS Compute Optimizer
Compute Optimizer is a service that analyzes the configuration and utilization metrics of your Amazon Web Services compute resources, such as Amazon EC2 instances, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling groups, Lambda functions, Amazon EBS volumes, and Amazon ECS services on Fargate. It reports whether your resources are optimal, and generates optimization recommendations to reduce the cost and improve the performance of your workloads. Compute Optimizer also provides recent utilization metric data, in addition to projected utilization metric data for the recommendations, which you can use to evaluate which recommendation provides the best price-performance trade-off. The analysis of your usage patterns can help you decide when to move or resize your running resources, and still meet your performance and capacity requirements. For more information about Compute Optimizer, including the required permissions to use the service, see the Compute Optimizer User Guide .
Plan the first integration safely
The access fields below come from the connected directory. Their likely implementation impact is explained without assuming provider-specific behavior.
Authentication
OAuth is reported. Confirm flows, scopes, consent, token lifetime, and refresh rules.
Transport
HTTPS is not confirmed. Do not send credentials or production data until secure transport is verified.
Browser access
CORS is unknown. Treat direct browser access as unconfirmed and test before choosing a client-only architecture.
First-request sequence
- Identify the current base URL, version, and endpoint for the use case.
- Confirm how credentials are issued and where they may be stored.
- Test success, invalid input, throttling, unavailable data, and timeouts.
- Record response fields, pagination, caching, and error shapes.
- Add monitoring, retries with backoff, and an appropriate fallback.
Questions to resolve before production
Pricing and quotas
Confirm current plans, free-tier limits, overages, and request ceilings.
Endpoint coverage
Check that the operations and response fields match the intended workload.
Reliability
Look for uptime history, a status page, support routes, and service commitments.
Data and privacy
Review retention, licensing, regional processing, and compliance requirements.
Versioning
Confirm the active version, change policy, deprecation window, and migration guidance.
Developer experience
Validate SDKs, examples, error formats, pagination, and test environments.
