The Starting Point

You are provided with a Git repository containing a Terraform project. It deploys:

• 5 x m5.4xlarge EC2 instances for a simple static website.
• 2 x Unused NAT Gateways.
• 500GB of Provisioned IOPS SSD (io2) storage.
• No tags, no scaling groups.

Your Initial Bill

Estimated daily cost: $150. Your goal by the end of this course is to bring this down to $15 without losing uptime.

Warning: Deploying this in your own account will cost real money. Use a sandbox or follow the simulation carefully!
