Policy: AWS > Well-Architected Tool > AWS Well-Architected Framework > Cost Optimization > COST 09. How do you manage demand, and supply resources?

For a workload that has balanced spend and performance, ensure that everything you pay for is used and avoid significantly underutilizing instances. A skewed utilization metric in either direction has an adverse impact on your organization, in either operational costs (degraded performance due to over-utilization), or wasted AWS expenditures (due to over-provisioning).

See COST 09. How do you manage demand, and supply resources? for more information.
