Eg. Cost per item/user/gb\nRate Optimisation | Changing the price through discounts like Reserved Instances\nUsage Optimisation | Rightsizing, turning unused resources off\nWorkload management | Only running resoruces when needed\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ffinoops%2Ffinops-cheatsheet","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Ffinoops%2Ffinops-cheatsheet","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ffinoops%2Ffinops-cheatsheet/lists"}
