Day 14/30: The AWS bill should not be a monthly jump scare

AWS provides tools such as Cost Explorer and AWS Budgets to help track and understand spending.

Budgets can alert you when costs or usage cross defined thresholds.

Important detail: an alert does not automatically solve the problem. It simply tells you the house may be on fire.

Review costs regularly, remove unused resources and investigate unusual increases.

The best time to understand your AWS bill is before Finance schedules an emergency meeting.
