One thing you can do to save money is change your instance type on the fly
if you find there are particular times when you require more horsepower. If
you only need a large instance to perform certain operations but a small is
adequate most of the time, there's no particular reason as to why you should
always run as a large.
Having said that, when you look at what is invested in creating a
collection, the platform itself is really the smallest part of the total
cost.
