Policy: AWS > Well-Architected Tool > AWS Well-Architected Framework > Cost Optimization > COST 06. How do you meet cost targets when you select resource type, size and number? > Perform cost modeling

Identify organization requirements and perform cost modeling of the workload and each of its components. Perform benchmark activities for the workload under different predicted loads and compare the costs. The modeling effort should reflect potential benefit - for example, time spent is proportional to component cost.

See Perform cost modeling for more information.
