We have a few instances hosted in AWS that are extremely underutilized (single digit avg. cpu% for the 3 months. The AWS compute optimizer has recommended the following changes to the instances Current Instance Type | Recommended Instance Type c4.4xLarge | r6i.xlarge c4.8xlarge | r6i.2xlarge and r6i.xlarge c5.2xLarge | r6i.large, r6i.xlarge, t3.medium, t3.small c5.4xlarge | r6i.2xlarge c5.9xlarge | r6i.4xlarge c5.xLarge | r6i.large t3.medium | t3.large t3.micro | t3.medium We noticed that most of the recommendations are about replacing 'compute-optimized' instances with new-gen 'mem-optimized' intances. This also reduced the CPU cores. Question - can we consider and replace the instances based on the recommendations.
