AWS has the trusted advisor, and it will offer to assist you in cost savings in terms of:

* Idle Load Balancers

* Underutilization of EBS volumes

* Unassociated Elastic IP addresses

* Idle RDS intsances

* R53 latency resource record sets

* etc...

Most of the Trusted Advisor checks are only available if you're on a Business or higher tier support plan. And those are now priced as a percentage of your monthly spend – not cheap.

If you're running your business on any provider, wouldn't you want to make sure you had support?

Not when the support is useless and not required.
