Automatically identify and prioritize cost-saving opportunities for S3 storage

Managing AWS S3 storage costs can quickly become complex as your data grows. New S3 Intelligent Tiering Recommendations make it easy to automatically identify and prioritize opportunities to optimize your S3 storage costs.

Designed for FinOps teams, CFOs, engineering leaders, and DevOps professionals, this solution gives you a single dashboard for all your storage optimization needs—no more juggling different tools or piecing together ad-hoc queries. It ranks recommendations by ease of implementation so you can tackle the most significant savings first. Plus, each recommendation includes direct links to the relevant resources, making it simple to take immediate action.

Starting today, you can access S3 Tiering Recommendations directly in the nOps Cost Recommendations dashboard.

Intelligent S3 Storage Analysis

S3 Intelligent Tiering Recommendations is built on a sophisticated analytical engine that examines your S3 buckets and identifies those that would benefit from switching to Intelligent Tiering.

The recommendation engine analyzes usage patterns, storage volumes, bucket age, and access frequencies to identify the perfect candidates for cost optimization — ensuring recommendations are accurate, low-risk, and beneficial.

Detailed Cost Savings Calculations

The Cost Savings Calculator provides precise estimates of your potential monthly savings for each recommended bucket. Make data-driven decisions with detailed information about current costs, projected costs with Intelligent Tiering, and the estimated monthly savings.
The calculator takes into account both storage costs and request costs to provide a comprehensive view of your potential savings.

Comprehensive Cost Optimization Recommendations

S3 Intelligent Tiering is just the latest addition to nOps Cost Optimization Recommendations. Continuously scan your AWS accounts to identify and implement cost-saving opportunities for compute, storage, severless, database, and more. Recommendations are prioritized based on the amount of effort, risk and cost impact of implementation.

How it Works

The S3 Intelligent Tiering recommendation engine works by:

  1. Analyzing your S3 buckets to identify those with standard storage class
  2. Calculating current storage and request costs for each bucket
  3. Estimating costs if these buckets were using Intelligent Tiering
  4. Generating recommendations for buckets with positive savings

The engine only recommends switching to Intelligent Tiering when it will result in actual cost savings, taking into account factors like bucket size, age, and usage patterns.
