 Hi! In this video, we will see how you can use the out-of-the-box recommendations of TrueSight Cloud Cause Control for purchasing AWS reserved instances to achieve cost savings. For the purpose of this video, let's consider a scenario. Claire, a cloud manager in an IT organization, is responsible for managing the existing multi-cloud environment. She tracks the monthly cloud costs and reviews and analyzes the cost reports to keep the expenses in check. She regularly checks the usage of existing infrastructure elements to determine whether there are any cost-saving opportunities. Claire wants to maximize the cost savings on AWS. She wants an easy way to monitor the existing AWS reserved instances to ensure they are efficiently used and to check for any cost-saving opportunities. Let's take a look at how TrueSight Cloud Cause Control can help Claire. So log on to TrueSight console and access Cloud Cause Control. Navigate to the cost optimization page and click AWS reserved instances. This page provides you with a quick view of the potential savings that you can achieve by purchasing AWS reserved instances. This section provides a quick comparison between the estimated monthly cost of your AWS EC2 instances and their optimized cost. The optimized cost is calculated based on the total estimated savings that you can achieve by purchasing the suggested number of reserved instances. You can view the existing reserved instances as well and the savings that you have realized by using them. Let's first check out the detailed recommendations. So we have four reserved instance recommendations and the table also shows the estimated savings that you can achieve by purchasing and using the suggested reserved instances. Let's take a look at one detailed recommendation. This recommendation suggests details that you would need such as type of operating system, instance type and the region where you should buy the reserved instance. You have information about the pricing of the reserved instance and the estimated savings that you can achieve. You can click on the online help link for more information about how the recommendation is generated. You can save an offline copy of this page by exporting it to Excel to get details of all the recommendations and use it to perform the actual actions in the AWS portal. Now let's check how you can review and analyze your existing reserved instances. Here you can get a quick view of all the active reserved instances, whether shared or dedicated in your infrastructure across all the accounts. You can also view a summary of their cost savings and usage. This chart shows that you're realizing over $1,000 of savings but you can achieve maximum potential savings of about $4,000 which means you're not using the AWS reserved instances to its best possible potential. Let's take one reserved instance as an example. So this reserved instance is used only for 59%. It is not generating any savings and looks like you're paying more than the on-demand cost. So this page gives you a quick idea of how efficiently you are using your existing reserved instances. You can drill down into a specific reserved instance to analyze its specific cost and usage details. This details page provides a quick view of the savings and usage information. Use this chart to analyze and compare the realized savings amount month by month. You can further analyze the reserved instance. Here view details of all the resources that are reserved. View a line by line consolidated list of all resources with their usage descriptions. This is how Clare can use the AWS reserved instances page to determine the number of AWS reserved instances that can be purchased to achieve cost savings, to monitor the existing AWS reserved instances, to ensure they are efficiently used and to check for any cost saving opportunities.
