ℹ️

Source for automated Recommendations: Spend data in the CloudZero platform. Frequency: Checked once per day. If the Recommendation is marked as Ignored, it will still be updated, but notifications will no longer be sent for any updates.

The Amazon EC2, RDS, and ElastiCache services continually upgrade their instances to the current generation. Older generation instances may be less efficient and more costly to you. Periodically check your environments for older generation instances for opportunities to upgrade to the AWS current generation to improve performance and reduce cost. Generally you can save up to 15% of the cost of your older generation instances by upgrading them.

Threshold: This Recommendation is created if the total real cost spend for the identified Amazon EC2, RDS, and ElastiCache older generation instances is at least $500 and will be marked as Addressed afterwards when it falls below $500.
