💰 Cost Optimization

Use Spot Instances

Save up to 90% with EC2 Spot Instances:

# Request spot instance
aws ec2 request-spot-instances \
  --spot-price "0.01" \
  --instance-count 1 \
  --type "one-time" \
  --launch-specification file://spec.json

Auto-Scaling

# Scale down during off-hours
# Use AWS Auto Scaling or Lambda to stop/start instances

Monthly Cost Estimate

• EC2 t3.micro: $7/month
• Storage (20GB): $2/month
• Data transfer: $1-5/month
• Total: ~$10-15/month
