# Amazon WorkSpaces Applications (AppStream 2.0) optimization Canonical: https://www.pointfive.co/efficiency-hub/cloud-services/aws-appstream-2-0 3 documented Amazon WorkSpaces Applications cost inefficiencies, each with how to detect it and how to fix it. [Cloud Efficiency Hub](https://www.pointfive.co/efficiency-hub) 3 documented Amazon WorkSpaces Applications cost inefficiencies, each with how to detect it and how to fix it. ## 3 inefficiencies [All services](https://www.pointfive.co/efficiency-hub#browse-by-service) - Amazon WorkSpaces Applications CER-0180 ### [Suboptimal WorkSpaces Applications Fleet Auto Scaling Policies](https://www.pointfive.co/efficiency-hub/inefficiencies/suboptimal-appstream-fleet-auto-scaling-policies) When fleet auto scaling policies maintain more active instances than are required to support current usage - particularly during off-peak hours-organizations incur unnecessary compute costs. Fleets often remain oversized due to...

This leads to consistently low... Compute - Amazon WorkSpaces Applications CER-0175 ### [Inactive WorkSpaces Applications Image Builder or App Block Builder Instances](https://www.pointfive.co/efficiency-hub/inefficiencies/inactive-appstream-image-builder-or-app-block-builder-instances) When Amazon WorkSpaces Applications (formerly AppStream 2.0) builder instances are left running but unused, they continue to generate compute charges without delivering any value. These instances are commonly left active after...
