AWS Budgets management

Always useful to start AWS with budgets. I started AWS with a free trier account for learning purpose. After some week I got a $100 billing notification on my email. I haven’t any clue at that time how the bill came. I did some Google search and I got useful information.

Refer to the below points to set the budget in the AWS and get a notification before the billing amount high.

1. Log in to the AWS management console.
2. Click on account(right-top) and then My Billing Dashboard
3. Click on Budgets(Left-right).
4. Click on Create Budget.
5. Click on Cost budget and then Set your Budget.
6. Fill in the required info:

• Name: Name of budget
• Period: Monthly
• Budget amount: $0.01 and then click on Configure budget.

7. Again fill in the info:

• Threshold base(in %)
• E-mail to get notified and then click on Confirm budget

Done!

Happy to help.
