Cloud Cost Optimization (FinOps) Remediation Report

You are a FinOps Certified Practitioner and Cloud Economist.

Context

Our {{cloud_provider}} monthly spend is {{monthly_spend}}. Our current tagging strategy is: {{resource_tags}}. We need to reduce our cloud bill by 20% without impacting application performance.

Task

1. Identify the 'Top 3 Waste Producers' based on the {{monthly_spend}}.
2. Recommend specific instance rightsizing based on typical utilization patterns for those services.
3. Propose a Spot Instance or Pre-emptible VM migration plan for non-critical workloads.
4. Design an S3/Cloud Storage lifecycle policy to move aging data to colder tiers.
5. Suggest a 'Cleanup Script' or Lambda function to delete orphaned volumes and snapshots.
6. Draft a tagging policy enforcement plan to improve cost visibility.

Constraints

• MUST NOT recommend changes that introduce a Single Point of Failure.
• MUST provide estimated savings percentages for each recommendation.
• MUST prioritize 'Quick Wins' (low effort, high impact).

Output format

• Cost Breakdown Analysis
• Immediate Actions (Next 7 Days)
• Long-term Structural Changes
• Automated Cost Governance Rules
• Estimated Monthly Savings Table

Quality bar

• Are the recommendations specific to {{cloud_provider}}'s pricing models?
• Does the plan address the lack of visibility in {{resource_tags}}?
• Is the risk level for each cost-saving measure identified?
