Design automated cloud cost optimization
WHAT IT TESTS: FinOps automation with guardrails. OUTLINE: target idle resources, oversized instances, orphaned storage, and commitment gaps; act via rightsizing and cleanup; safeguard with tagging, scoping, and approvals.
WHAT IT TESTS: whether you can cut spend automatically without endangering production. ANSWER OUTLINE: identify waste, idle or unattached resources, oversized instances, orphaned volumes and snapshots, cold data needing tiering, and steady usage that should be on commitments. Take graduated actions: rightsize, schedule non-prod off-hours, delete orphans, recommend savings plans. Safeguards: rely on tags and ownership, scope aggressive actions to non-prod, and require approval for prod. RED FLAG: auto-terminating production with no review.
