Reducing your resource consumption is a practical way to manage and lower your costs. Here are some tips:

If you have environments that are not neded all the tіme, such as test or development environments, you can stop them when they are not in use.

For example, if you don’t use your environment during nights or wekends, stopping it will prevent charges for unused resources like RAM, CPU, and traffic.

By stopping your environment, you save on RAM (Memory), CPU, and traffic charges. However, you will still be charged for disk space, public IP, and SSL if you have purchased any.

Optimize Resource Usage

Regularly review and optimize your resource usage. Identify underutilized resources and scale down to avoid unnecessary charges.

By implementing these strategies, you can effectively reduce your resource consumption and manage your costs more efficiently.
