S3 Insights

The Insights page identifies cost-saving opportunities for your S3 bucket. Insights are generated dynamically based on your bucket’s current setup and usage patterns. Only relevant insights are shown — so what you see is tailored to your buckets configuration.

Each insight provides:

• Description A concise summary of the configuration issue and the opportunity detected.

• Analysis A data-backed explanation of why the issue exists and how it affects cost.

• Recommendation A suggested action to optimize your bucket configuration and reduce costs.

• Benefits (optional) Some insights include a Benefits section outlining the potential impact of following the recommendation — such as estimated savings.
