You can set up daily or hourly cost and usage reports on the account. I built a finops function based on it, feeding the data into a Postgres db. Make sure to select incremental updates, if not you’ll en up paying for tb of s3 storage.
- dijit 2y agoI'd like to immortalise this comment because it's exactly the kind of thing that annoys me when people say "cloud is easier" or that it requires fewer skills/people/resources. It clearly does, it's just different skills/time/energy requirements compared to colocation.
- Aeolun 2y agoTB of S3 storage is surprisingly inexpensive though. Especially compared to everything else AWS.
- ac29 2y ago$283/TB-year doesnt strike me as inexpensive. And that price does not include any data transfer.
- TheDong 2y ago"daily or hourly" isn't enough though. There's some AWS resources, like for example route53 hosted zones, which bill only once at the end of the month, and so a daily or hourly bill won't tell you anything about leaked resources there. There's at least a one resource that only bills once a year, so yet again you won't catch those with even monthly usage reports.
