ReShaping : Advanced Architecture Optimization for EC2, RDS, EBS, & ECS

Introduction to ReShaping

ReShaping is an innovative solution designed to enhance AWS infrastructure by meticulously analysing your instance-level usage and utilisation data. By exploring over 100,000 potential AWS architectures, ReShaping identifies hidden opportunities to reclaim resources by minimizing idle machine capacity. This optimization process is seamlessly integrated with your FinOps data, offering insights into savings rates and Reserved Instance (RI) footprints. Customization is available through your account settings, allowing you to tailor provisioning and headroom based on your unique requirements.

Reshaping Dashboard

The Home Dashboard provides a comprehensive summary of your monthly AWS costs and service usage, presented through visual graphs that compare current and previous months' data. Each service is encapsulated within a product box, where you can click See Details to expand the view and explore AI-powered architecture optimization suggestions.

Expanded View & AI Recommendations

In the expanded view of a product, ReShaping showcases potential cost savings along with precise instance modifications aligned with your specified preferences. By selecting AI Suggestion, you gain access to detailed insights into each recommended instance change.

AI Suggestions

The AI Suggestion popup box offers a detailed breakdown of the reasoning behind each recommendation. This includes historical usage data, such as CPU and network traffic trends, that guide the AI's decision-making process. ReShaping’s AI may recommend an alternative machine type or size tailored to your workload, providing a thorough analysis to support the suggested optimization.

ReShaping Configuration

You can fine-tune how ReShaping’s machine learning model assesses your instances and generates optimization recommendations. To modify these settings, click the gear icon on the ReShaping homepage. Note that changes will be reflected in the output data within 24 hours, as the system needs time to reprocess the analysis. It’s recommended to update your preferences infrequently, ideally once a month or quarter, to ensure a clear and consistent optimization strategy.
