Amazon Aurora Rightsize Clusters

This Recommendation identifies Aurora clusters that should be rightsized to optimize cost and performance.

What it does

• Identifies Aurora clusters that are over-provisioned or under-provisioned
• Provides estimated cost savings from rightsizing clusters
• Uses AWS Trusted Advisor recommendations to identify optimal rightsizing targets

Recommended actions

• Rightsize Aurora clusters to match actual resource utilization
• Review CPU, memory, and I/O utilization metrics
• Consider performance requirements when rightsizing
• Test application performance after rightsizing to ensure requirements are met
• Monitor Aurora cluster performance metrics during and after rightsizing
• Consider Aurora Serverless v2 for variable workloads that may benefit from auto-scaling
