Programmatic Access to AWS Billing Data
- flyt 14y agoNow I just wish that AWS would generate estimates more frequently.
- jeffbarr 14y agoHow frequently, and how would this help you?
- benarent 14y agoI've recently had to consolidate three separate AWS accounts, after checking out https://cloudability.com/ https://cloudability.com/ and http://cloudvertical.com http://cloudvertical.com . We ended out using CloudVertical. CloudVertical gives us the ability to tag different parts of your bill and get e-mail alerts on price spikes.

Really love the CloudVertical e-mail reports, I would recommend checking them out.

- jswanson 14y agoThis is great, but what would really be nice to see is a way to get cost per particular instance, either based on instance-id or a particular tag. You can to some extent do it manually, and breaking applications into different accounts achieves most of what you'd want to see. But being able to see how much you've paid this month for front-end servers dedicated to application X, or load balancers for all applications, would be valuable.
