Policy: AWS > Well-Architected Tool > AWS Well-Architected Framework > Cost Optimization > COST 05. How do you evaluate cost when you select services?

Amazon EC2, Amazon EBS, and Amazon S3 are building-block AWS services. Managed services, such as Amazon RDS and Amazon DynamoDB, are higher level, or application level, AWS services. By selecting the appropriate building blocks and managed services, you can optimize this workload for cost. For example, using managed services, you can reduce or remove much of your administrative and operational overhead, freeing you to work on applications and business-related activities.

See COST 05. How do you evaluate cost when you select services? for more information.
