Frequently Asked Questions About AWS Compute Optimizer and Slack Integrations

New to FinOps automations? Do not worry! Below you will find most relevant answers to common questions about how integration between AWS Compute Optimizer and Slack works.

How does AWS Compute Optimizer integrate with Slack for cost optimization alerts?

AWS Compute Optimizer automatically sends rightsizing recommendations and cost optimization alerts directly to your Slack channels. You can configure notifications for underutilized instances, oversized resources, and potential savings opportunities. This integration ensures your team stays informed about optimization opportunities without leaving their collaboration workspace, enabling faster decision-making and cost reduction.

What types of AWS Compute Optimizer recommendations appear in Slack notifications?

Slack notifications include EC2 instance rightsizing recommendations, Auto Scaling group optimizations, EBS volume suggestions, and Lambda function memory recommendations. Each alert shows current resource specifications, recommended changes, estimated cost savings, and performance impact. The integration delivers actionable insights with one-click access to detailed recommendations in the AWS console.

Can I customize which AWS Compute Optimizer alerts get sent to Slack?

Yes, you can fully customize notification preferences by resource type, savings threshold, and recommendation confidence level. Configure separate channels for different teams, set minimum savings amounts to trigger alerts, and choose between summary reports or detailed recommendations. This flexibility ensures relevant stakeholders receive appropriate optimization insights without notification fatigue.

How much can organizations save by using AWS Compute Optimizer with Slack integration?

Organizations typically achieve 15-25% compute cost reduction by acting on Compute Optimizer recommendations delivered through Slack. The real-time notification system increases recommendation adoption rates by 40% compared to manual console checking. Faster response times to optimization opportunities, combined with team collaboration features, accelerate cost savings implementation across cloud infrastructure.

What permissions are needed to set up AWS Compute Optimizer Slack integration?

You need AWS IAM permissions for Compute Optimizer access, CloudWatch Events, and SNS publishing. Slack workspace admin rights are required to install the AWS app and configure incoming webhooks. The setup involves creating SNS topics, EventBridge rules, and Lambda functions to format and route optimization recommendations to designated Slack channels securely.
