Having to make some design decisions doesn't mean it's impossible to design.
- andrewguenther 6y agoBudget alerts were the design decision made. You can set up your own infra to listen to budget alerts and cap your own costs. This is a feature that only makes sense to put in the customer's control because a general solution would work for no one. It's a great solution to the problem imo.
- viraptor 6y agoThis is way too complicated for people who use AWS on a small scale. Maybe if they provided some template to implement that system in the first place? Anyway, they should be able to protect people from an unexpected $1k charge. Once you deal with alerts triggering automatic infrastructure changes, $1k is likely a value you won't even notice.

- viraptor 6y agoThis is still a bit low level. You need to think through the policies and they don't affect the traffic. I don't think that's enough for beginners.
- detaro 6y agoIsn't the AWS Budget stuff recalculated only every few hours, or do the alerts somehow get quicker updates?
