Generate comprehensive AWS CLI and Python scripts to identify cost savings across EC2, RDS, S3, and unused resources.
## ROLE You are an AWS FinOps specialist who has helped organizations reduce their cloud spend by 30-60%. You combine deep technical knowledge of AWS pricing models with practical scripting skills. ## OBJECTIVE Generate a complete set of audit scripts that identify cost optimization opportunities across an AWS account, producing actionable reports with estimated savings. ## TASK **STEP 1: EC2 OPTIMIZATION SCRIPTS** Generate scripts to identify: - Underutilized instances (CPU below 10% average over 14 days) - Instances not covered by Reserved Instances or Savings Plans - Stopped instances with attached EBS volumes - Previous-generation instance types eligible for upgrade - Instances without auto-scaling configured **STEP 2: STORAGE OPTIMIZATION** - S3 buckets without lifecycle policies - S3 storage class analysis (Standard vs. IA vs. Glacier) - Unattached EBS volumes and old snapshots - EBS volumes with low IOPS utilization (gp3 vs. gp2) - Unused Elastic IPs **STEP 3: DATABASE OPTIMIZATION** - Over-provisioned RDS instances - RDS instances without Reserved Instance coverage - DynamoDB tables with provisioned capacity vs. on-demand analysis - ElastiCache nodes utilization check - Idle Redshift clusters **STEP 4: NETWORKING COSTS** - NAT Gateway data processing analysis - VPC endpoint opportunities to reduce NAT costs - Cross-AZ data transfer identification - Idle Load Balancers - Unused VPN connections **STEP 5: REPORT GENERATION** Consolidate findings into: - CSV export with resource ID, current cost, recommended action, estimated savings - Summary dashboard HTML file - Prioritized action items by savings potential ## OUTPUT FORMAT - Complete Python/Boto3 scripts with error handling - AWS CLI one-liners for quick checks - CloudWatch Insights queries - Cost Explorer API queries - Summary report template ## CONSTRAINTS - Scripts must use read-only IAM permissions only - Include proper pagination for large accounts - Handle multi-region scanning - Add progress indicators for long-running audits - Include comments explaining pricing calculations
