Getting started with rightsizing recommendations

You can access your reservation recommendations and resource-based recommendations in the Billing and Cost Management console. After you enable the feature, it can take up to 24 hours to generate your recommendations.

To enable and access rightsizing recommendations

  1. Open the Amazon Billing and Cost Management console at https://console.amazonaws.cn/costmanagement/home.

  2. In the navigation pane, choose Cost Management preferences.

  3. On the Preferences page, under Rightsizing - legacy in the General tab, select Enable Rightsizing recommendations.

  4. Choose Save preferences.

    Note

    Only regular or a management account can enable rightsizing recommendations. After you enable the feature, both member and management account can access rightsizing recommendations unless the management account specifically prohibits member account access on the settings page.

    To improve the recommendation quality, Amazon might use your published utilization metrics, such as disk or memory utilization, to improve our recommendation models and algorithms. All metrics are anonymized and aggregated before Amazon uses them for model training. If you want to opt out of this experience and request that your metrics not be stored and used for model improvement, contact Amazon Web Services Support. For more information, see Amazon Service Terms.

  5. To access rightsizing recommendations, in the navigation pane, under Legacy pages, choose Rightsizing.
