Documentation Grafana Cloud Monitor infrastructure Kubernetes Monitoring Manage costs Savings

Savings

The Savings tab has these panels:

• Optimized CPU allocation: The amount you could have saved if all unused CPU cores had been deprovisioned over the selected time range
• Reduced memory overhead: The amount you could have saved if all unused RAM had been deprovisioned over the selected time range
• Reclaimed storage waste: The amount you could have saved over the selected time range by:
  • Removing deleted unattached volumes
  • Resizing oversized disks
  • Archiving infrequently accessed data to lower-cost storage tiers
• Optimized GPU allocation: What you could have saved by optimizing GPU resources over the selected time range

You can use this information to:

• Easily prioritize where to start optimizing.
• Correlate with deployments, traffic patterns, or configuration changes to understand changes like a memory waste spike.
• Create a case for optimization work.
• Determine cost-benefit analysis to answer whether it’s worth engineering time to optimize resources.
