Determine if what you consume is really what you need

• How well the your compute resources are utilized, if you are wasting resources, or have under-provisioned resources or need to add more resources to your deployment.
• Who is the “customer” for your resources, what is the ROI priority that dictates the Service Level of your business.

Determine how your future compute consumption will look

• Gather your business  requirements for the period being planned.
• Estimate your resource needs beyond organic growth and how they will evolve through the duration of reserved instances.

Determine what type of RIs will be more cost effective for you

Based on your usage patterns identified in the planning phase, identify what types of RIs you need  (instance type, AWS Availability Zones , platform and RI-type).
