AWS Optimization Recommendations

Understand sources, confidence, expected impact and limits.

CoreFinOps collects supported AWS-native optimization recommendations through read-oriented integrations such as AWS Cost Optimization Hub and AWS Compute Optimizer, subject to the connected account's permissions, enrollment and available data.

What a recommendation represents

A recommendation is an opportunity under a particular AWS analysis model, at a particular observation time. It is not an implemented change, guaranteed saving or verified financial outcome.

Review before acting

Confirm the AWS account, region, resource, recommendation type, source timestamp, suggested change, expected monthly value and supporting evidence. Consider application criticality, performance risk and workload ownership before approving action.

Source availability

An account can be connected but have no recommendations because the source is not enabled, has insufficient telemetry or has no qualifying findings. A refresh job can succeed without generating new rows. Historic recommendations remain useful even if a source no longer returns them, with their age clearly displayed.

Overlapping opportunities

Rightsizing, retirement, commitment optimization and architecture change may describe overlapping financial baselines. Do not sum their headline estimated values into a single “guaranteed saving.” Resolve alternatives and non-additive groups when building a program view.

What CoreFinOps does not do

The platform does not automatically modify customer resources. Use the Action Center to document ownership, approval, customer-performed implementation and verification.
