Doesn't AWS offer limits? Smaller companies don't?

• brundolf 4y ago
  I thought I remembered someone saying AWS doesn't, and I've heard stories from people on here about other platforms

    I think Vultr offered a similar feature that was helpful for me. It's definitely good to see more companies looking at adopting this feature.

  From what I remember, they don't offer limits, and neither does GCP. They offer billing alerts and that's it. Both cloud platforms operate on what they call a "shared responsibility" model, aka you bill it you buy it.

    And these alerts aren't realtime. Meaning damage is already done when you receive an alert 24h after the fact.

  the big clouds usually have something you can wrap around alerting on their usage tracking APIs, but that's often very "eventually consistent" and might be delayed by days. Which is understandable in some cases, is still useful for some cases, but e.g. doesn't reliably protect you from "oh crap a broken config launched way to many VMs and now I've spent 10k in a day"
