La Guía Definitiva para Optimizar Costos en la Nube
En InfraUX hemos ayudado a empresas a ahorrar más de $2M anuales en costos cloud. Estas son las estrategias que funcionan.
El Problema: Por Qué las Facturas Se Disparan
<div class="warning-box"> ⚠️ **Dato alarmante**: El 35% del gasto cloud es desperdicio puro. Recursos no utilizados, sobredimensionamiento y falta de gobernanza. </div>Análisis de Costos: El Primer Paso
1. Herramientas de Análisis por Proveedor
| Herramienta | AWS | Azure | GCP |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nativa | Cost Explorer | Cost Management | Cost Management |
| Recomendaciones | Trusted Advisor | Advisor | Recommender |
| Budgets | AWS Budgets | Cost Alerts | Budget Alerts |
| Tags | Cost Allocation Tags | Cost Tags | Labels |
2. Script Multi-Cloud para Análisis

1. Compute (EC2/VMs/Compute Engine)
Rightsizing Automático
1# AWS - Análisis de utilización
2aws cloudwatch get-metric-statistics \
3 --namespace AWS/EC2 \
4 --metric-name CPUUtilization \
5 --dimensions Name=InstanceId,Value=i-1234567890abcdef0 \
6 --statistics Average \
7 --start-time 2024-01-01T00:00:00Z \
8 --end-time 2024-01-31T23:59:59Z \
9 --period 3600Recomendaciones de Rightsizing
| Utilización CPU | Utilización Memoria | Acción Recomendada | Ahorro Potencial |
|---|---|---|---|
| < 20% | < 30% | Reducir 2 tamaños | 50-60% |
| < 40% | < 50% | Reducir 1 tamaño | 25-30% |
| > 80% | > 80% | Considerar aumentar | -20% (evita problemas) |
2. Reserved Instances vs Savings Plans vs Spot

17 for option, data in options.items():
18 data['risk_score'] = self._calculate_risk(option)
19 data['savings_percentage'] = (
20 (options['on_demand']['cost'] - data['cost']) /
21 options['on_demand']['cost'] * 100
22 )
23
24 return optionsMatriz de Decisión
| Carga de Trabajo | Mejor Opción | Ahorro | Riesgo |
|---|---|---|---|
| Producción 24/7 | Reserved 3yr | 72% | Bajo |
| Dev/Test | Spot + On-Demand | 60-90% | Medio |
| Variable | Savings Plans | 40-50% | Bajo |
| Batch Processing | Spot | 90% | Alto |
