Implementation guidance

Deploy the Cost Optimizer for Amazon WorkSpaces, and perform regular reviews of your WorkSpaces usage reported by the Cost Optimizer for Amazon WorkSpaces. Based on your findings, decide which WorkSpaces to terminate, and initiate a conversation with owners of underutilized WorkSpaces to understand if these are still needed. Agree on how, when, and by whom any changes are to be applied.
