Provides structured AWS cost optimization guidance using five pillars (right-sizing, elasticity, pricing models, storage optimization, monitoring) and twelve actionable best practices with executable AWS CLI examples. Use when optimizing AWS costs, reviewing AWS spending, finding unused AWS resources, implementing FinOps practices, reducing EC2/EBS/S3 bills, configuring AWS Budgets, or performing AWS Well-Architected cost reviews.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

How to install
mdr add giuseppe-trisciuoglio/developer-kit/aws-cost-optimization@sha256:01c031666b86ac71The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260324.a02e282, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
