Advisory check

This check is estimated from your configuration and has not been validated against a live resource, for the reason below.

Reason: Needs a Reserved Instance or Savings Plan commitment, or AWS's own purchase recommendation.

Its findings are labelled Advisory and never count toward a headline total.

What it finds

SP Opportunity Compute: one of the Commitment purchases checks in the compute optimization group. Checks in this group look for: compute capacity that is idle, stopped but still holding paid attachments, oversized for its load, or on an older generation.

How it is detected

AWS Cost Explorer Compute SP recommendation

Detection confidence: HIGH (findings stay Advisory). This is the criterion from our public docs. It runs in a local scan with your own read-only credentials.

Run it yourself

Nothing leaves your machine. The local scan has no telemetry.
