COST06-BP03 - Select resource type, size, and number automatically based on metrics
Implementation guidance
Automated resource selection involves implementing systems that can monitor metrics, analyze performance and cost data, and automatically adjust resource configurations to meet targets. This includes auto-scaling, automated rightsizing, and intelligent resource provisioning based on real-time conditions.
Automation Framework
Metrics-Based Triggers: Define metrics and thresholds that trigger automated resource adjustments, including performance, utilization, and cost metrics.
Decision Algorithms: Implement algorithms that can evaluate multiple factors and make optimal resource selection decisions automatically.
Safety Mechanisms: Include safeguards and validation checks to prevent inappropriate automated changes that could impact performance or availability.
Feedback Loops: Create feedback mechanisms that learn from automated decisions and continuously improve the automation logic.
Automation Types
Auto-Scaling: Automatically adjust the number of resources based on demand patterns and performance metrics.
Automated Rightsizing: Periodically analyze resource utilization and automatically adjust instance types and sizes.
Intelligent Provisioning: Use machine learning and predictive analytics to proactively provision resources based on anticipated demand.
Cost-Aware Scheduling: Automatically schedule workloads and resources to optimize for cost while meeting performance requirements.
AWS Services to Consider
AWS Auto Scaling
Automatically adjust resource capacity based on demand and cost targets. Use Auto Scaling to optimize resource usage and costs dynamically across multiple services.
Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling
Automatically scale EC2 instances based on metrics and policies. Use predictive scaling and target tracking to optimize for both performance and cost.
AWS Lambda
Implement serverless automation logic for resource management. Use Lambda functions to create custom automation workflows and decision engines.
Amazon CloudWatch
Monitor metrics and trigger automated actions. Use CloudWatch alarms and events to initiate automated resource adjustments.
AWS Systems Manager
Automate resource management tasks and configurations. Use Systems Manager Automation to implement complex resource management workflows.
Amazon EventBridge
Orchestrate automated workflows based on events and metrics. Use EventBridge to coordinate complex automation scenarios across multiple services.
Implementation Steps

- Design safety mechanisms and validation checks
- Plan integration with existing systems and processes
3. Implement Monitoring and Metrics
- Set up comprehensive monitoring for automation triggers
- Configure custom metrics and dashboards
- Implement alerting and notification systems
- Create audit trails and logging for automation actions
4. Develop Automation Logic
- Implement decision algorithms and optimization logic
- Create automated scaling and rightsizing policies
- Build validation and safety check mechanisms

5. Test and Validate Automation
- Test automation in controlled environments
- Validate decision logic and safety mechanisms
- Perform load testing and failure scenario testing
- Document automation behavior and edge cases
6. Deploy and Monitor
- Gradually roll out automation to production systems
- Monitor automation performance and effectiveness
- Continuously refine and improve automation logic
- Establish governance and oversight processes
