Automated AWS Cost Reporting with Alerts πŸš€

πŸš€ Project Complete: Automated AWS Cost Reporting with Alerts πŸš€

I just completed a hands-on AWS project where I built an automated cost reporting system using AWS Lambda, Cost Explorer, S3, and SNS.

Here’s what I achieved:

βœ… Fetch daily AWS costs per service automatically

βœ… Generate CSV reports and store them in versioned S3 bucket

βœ… Trigger high-cost alerts via SNS notifications

βœ… Track historical cost versions for easy audit

βœ… Lifecycle rules to automatically clean old reports

πŸ’‘ Tools & Skills Used:

AWS Services: Lambda, S3, SNS, Cost Explorer

Python & Boto3 for automation

Data handling: CSV generation, parsing

Cloud best practices: Versioning, cost monitoring, alerts

This project helped me deeply understand AWS cost management, automation, and practical cloud engineering skills.

I’m excited to apply these skills in real-world cloud support/engineering roles and continue building hands-on projects.
