Unintended EC2 costs.

Amazon EC2 offers flexibility and scalability for cloud computing, but without proper monitoring and management, it can lead to unintended costs. Many businesses end up paying more than expected due to idle instances, misconfigured resources, or unmonitored usage. At Informatix Systems, we specialize in identifying and eliminating unnecessary EC2 costs, helping you optimize your AWS spending and stay within budget.

What Are Unintended EC2 Costs

Unintended EC2 costs refer to unexpected or unnecessary charges incurred while using Amazon EC2. These costs typically arise from poor resource management, forgotten running instances, oversized servers, or a lack of usage monitoring. Businesses often only discover these charges when reviewing their AWS billing statements.

Common Causes of Unintended EC2 Costs

1. Idle or Underutilized Instances
   Instances running without being used still incur hourly charges.

2. Oversized Instances
   Using larger instance types than necessary leads to higher costs.

3. Unattached EBS Volumes
   Volumes left attached to terminated instances continue to generate storage fees.

4. Elastic IPs Not in Use
   Elastic IP addresses that are not attached to a running instance incur charges.

5. Lack of Automation
   Without automated scaling or shutdown rules, instances may run longer than needed.

6. Multiple Snapshots and Backups
   Retaining outdated snapshots adds up in storage costs over time.
