Filter out AWS RDS Instances with Low CPU Utilization

There was a problem that the LLM was not able to address. Please rephrase your prompt and try again.

This task identifies Amazon RDS instances that are underperforming or underutilized in terms of CPU usage. By utilizing Amazon CloudWatch metrics, users can monitor and assess the CPU performance of their RDS instances over a specified period. By setting a CPU utilization threshold, they can filter out instances that consistently operate below this limit, indicating potential over-provisioning or underuse. Highlighting these low-utilization instances aids organizations in optimizing their AWS resource allocation, ensuring cost efficiency and facilitating informed decisions about scaling or decommissioning certain database resources.

    Delete AWS RDS Instance

    There was a problem that the LLM was not able to address. Please rephrase your prompt and try again.

    This task terminates the AWS RDS database and deletes all associated data. Before deletion, users often create a final snapshot to preserve the database's current state, enabling future restoration if necessary. It's essential to ensure that the "Deletion Protection" feature, designed to prevent accidental deletions, is disabled before proceeding. Once deleted, the RDS instance is no longer operational, and associated costs cease. However, any retained backups or snapshots will persist and may incur storage charges until they too are deleted.
