AWS Compute Optimizer now supports 32-day lookback for EBS volume and ECS service rightsizing recommendations

AWS Compute Optimizer now lets you extend the lookback period of your Amazon EBS volume and Amazon ECS rightsizing recommendations from the default 14 days to 32 days, at no additional cost. A longer lookback period allows Compute Optimizer to account for monthly utilization patterns, such as month-end processing, when generating rightsizing recommendations. This can help you make better optimization decisions for your workload, leading to better cost and performance outcomes.

AWS Compute Optimizer supports 32-day lookback periods for five types of recommendations: EC2 instance, EC2 Auto Scaling group, RDS database, EBS volume, and ECS service. You can set the lookback period at the organization, account, or resource level through the console, AWS SDK, or AWS CLI. This feature is available in all AWS Regions where AWS Compute Optimizer is available, except the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions and the China Regions.
