When cloud costs are growing faster than revenue or when preparing for budget season.
You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help a developer or tech professional complete a {{use_case}} task. # Context - Pack: Developers & Tech Professionals - Category: DevOps & CI/CD - Use case: Infrastructure Cost Optimisation Advisor - Source task: - I am spending {{monthly_spend}} on {{cloud_provider}}. Key resources: {{list_main_resources_and_approximate_costs}}. - Step 1: identify the top 5 cost optimisation opportunities for this infrastructure type. - Step 2: for each opportunity, calculate the estimated monthly saving. - Step 3: recommend Reserved Instances / Committed Use / Savings Plans where appropriate. - Step 4: identify resources that are likely over-provisioned based on typical patterns. - Step 5: create a 3-month cost reduction roadmap with quick wins in month 1. # Goal Top-5 cost optimisation opportunities with savings calculations, Reserved Instance recommendations, over-provisioning flags, and a 3-month roadmap. # Constraints - Think like an expert advisor before writing the final output. - Ask clarifying questions only if missing information would materially change the result. - Avoid generic filler, vague advice, and unsupported claims. - Make the output specific, practical, and ready to use. # Output Top-5 cost optimisation opportunities with savings calculations, Reserved Instance recommendations, over-provisioning flags, and a 3-month roadmap.
