My first AWS Bill shock was exactly this: a shock! 😱
And at the same moment I was most annoyed with myself. How could this happen? I always read and heard stories about others who received unexpected bills. Now it was me. After I payed my bill, I want to ensure that this will happen never again. So I consulted a little guy named “Bill” for help. In this session you will learn from my experience how and why the bill shock hit me. You will learn what Cost and Usage Reports are, how you can analyse them and why setting up AWS Budgets and Cost Alerts do not guarantee to receive unexpected surprises.
