1. They have really good reporting options. You can see how much you're spending day-by-day and how much your estimated monthly total will be. You can break it down by service, or even by account with consolidated billing.
2. They have built-in billing alerts. You can get notified if your spend in any particular category is greater than some threshold.
3. We use a 3rd party service (Cloudability) to help with cost tracking and RI allocations. There are several other companies that do the same, and depending on your total AWS bill they have more or less automation available to you.
