cloudtrail-cost-optimization
A skill for AWS DevOps Agent that finds ways to lower AWS CloudTrail spending and estimates the savings.
What the skill teaches
A skill for AWS DevOps Agent that finds ways to lower AWS CloudTrail spending and estimates the savings. It inspects trails, their event selectors and any CloudTrail Lake data stores to find duplicate management-event trails, read events that are not needed, noisy high-volume events such as KMS or RDS Data API calls, data event logging that is too broad, and Lake ingestion or retention waste. All calls are read-only, never changes trails or selectors, does not read logged event contents, and returns a report ranked by severity.
Capabilities
- Find duplicate CloudTrail management-event trails
- Spot high-volume noise events
- Review CloudTrail Lake ingestion and retention
- Rank savings opportunities by severity
