Metrics analyzed by AWS Compute Optimizer

Focus mode
Metrics analyzed by AWS Compute Optimizer - AWS Compute Optimizer

After you opt in, AWS Compute Optimizer analyzes the specifications, such as vCPUs, memory, or storage, and the Amazon CloudWatch metrics of your running resources from a period over the last 14 days. If you activate the enhanced infrastructure metrics recommendation preference, AWS Compute Optimizer analyzes your resources for up to 93 days.

The analysis can take up to 24 hours to complete. When the analysis is complete, the findings are displayed on the dashboard page of the Compute Optimizer console. For more information, see Using the AWS Compute Optimizer dashboard.

Note
  • To generate recommendations for Amazon EC2 instances, EC2 Auto Scaling groups, Amazon EBS volumes, Lambda functions, and commercial software licenses, Compute Optimizer uses the maximum utilization point within each five-minute time interval over the lookback period. For ECS services on Fargate recommendations, Compute Optimizer uses the maximum utilization point within each one-minute time interval.

  • AWS might use your utilization data to help improve the overall quality of Compute Optimizer's recommendations. To stop AWS using your utilization data, contact AWS Support.
