-Perform benchmark activities for the workload under different predicted loads and compare the costs. The modelling effort should reflect potential benefit; for example, time spent is proportional to component cost or predicted saving.

-As an example, to create cost modeling for a workload consisting of compute resources, [AWS Compute Optimizer](https://aws.amazon.com/compute-optimizer/) can assist with cost modelling for running workloads. It provides right-sizing recommendations for compute resources based on historical usage. Make sure CloudWatch Agents are deployed to the Amazon EC2 instances to collect memory metrics which help you with more accurate recommendations within AWS Compute Optimizer. This is the ideal data source for compute resources because it is a free service that uses machine learning to make multiple recommendations depending on levels of risk.
