Cost Anomaly Detection uses machine learning to continuously monitor, detect, and alert customers to anomalous spend patterns. Starting today, customers can provision anomaly monitors and anomaly alert subscriptions with CloudFormation in all AWS Regions, except GovCloud.

Previously, CloudFormation support for Cost Anomaly Detection was only available in US East (N. Virginia) and China (Ningxia) regions. Because of this limitation, some customers had to configure Cost Anomaly Detection separately from where their resources and infrastructure were set up. The expanded regional availability removes this disconnect by letting customers configure Cost Anomaly Detection via CloudFormation nearer to their resources and infrastructure across regions. Customers can create CloudFormation stacks in their preferred region, deploying Cost Anomaly Detection wherever they need it.
