the most expensive AWS mistake isn't paying on-demand. it's locking in a multi-year commitment on a fleet you're about to halve.
the gate is simple. fleet rightsized? if no, resize first — don't commit. stable baseline? if yes, buy the compute savings plan, up to 66% off, sized to that baseline.
a smaller baseline buys a cheaper, more accurate commitment. that's why the order matters.
