But that doesn’t mean it’s not manageable. It takes all of 5 minutes to set up a budget alarm on CloudWatch. It was one of the first things I looked into doing when I set up my own AWS account years ago specifically because I didn’t know what I was doing back then and thus didn’t want any surprises. If I managed it then, then I find it hard to believe others cannot too.
