Cloud Cost Estimator Skill
Estimates cloud costs for migration targets, provides resource sizing recommendations, and suggests cost optimization strategies.
Purpose
Enable cloud cost planning for:
- Resource sizing recommendations
- Cost projection
- Reserved instance optimization
- Spot instance eligibility
- Cost comparison
Capabilities
1. Resource Sizing Recommendations
- Right-size compute instances
- Optimize storage allocation
- Plan memory requirements
- Size database instances
2. Cost Projection
- Monthly cost estimates
- Annual projections
- Growth modeling
- Budget forecasting
3. Reserved Instance Optimization
- Identify RI candidates
- Calculate savings
- Plan commitment levels
- Optimize coverage
4. Spot Instance Eligibility
- Assess workload suitability
- Estimate availability
- Calculate savings
- Plan fallback strategy
5. Cost Comparison (On-Prem vs Cloud)
- Calculate current costs
- Project cloud costs
- Analyze TCO
- Document savings
6. FinOps Recommendations
- Identify waste
- Suggest optimizations
- Plan tagging strategy
- Implement showback
