AWS Fargate Rightsizing Recommendations for Amazon ECS

This Recommendation identifies AWS Fargate services with over-provisioned CPU or memory allocations that should be rightsized to optimize costs, based on AWS Trusted Advisor recommendations.

Overview

AWS Trusted Advisor analyzes your Fargate service configurations and usage patterns to identify services that are allocated more CPU or memory than they actually need. This surfaces rightsizing recommendations to help you reduce costs while maintaining performance for your containerized workloads.

What it identifies

• Fargate services with CPU allocations higher than utilization
• Services with memory allocations exceeding actual usage
• Opportunities to reduce Fargate vCPU and memory configurations
• Rightsizing recommendations from AWS Trusted Advisor for ECS services

Key features

• Uses AWS Trusted Advisor's c1z7kmr06n check filtered for rightsizing actions
• Leverages Trusted Advisor's estimated savings calculations
• Provides dynamic titles showing current vs recommended resource configurations
• Focuses specifically on rightsizing over-provisioned Fargate services

Cost impact

The recommendation calculates potential monthly savings from rightsizing Fargate services to more appropriate CPU and memory allocations, eliminating costs for unused compute resources.
