ACCT.10 Configure AWS Budgets to monitor your spending

AWS Budgets enables monitoring of monthly costs and usage with notifications when costs are forecast to exceed target thresholds. Cost forecast notifications can indicate unexpected activity, which adds a layer of monitoring alongside other services, such as Trusted Advisor. Monitoring your AWS costs helps you detect unexpected usage and avoid unplanned charges.

To set up a budget

  1. See Create a cost budget in the AWS Billing and Cost Management documentation.

Note

AWS Budgets provides two budgets per account at no charge. For information about the cost of additional budgets, see AWS Budgets pricing.
