Today, we’re excited to announce the extension of AWS managed monitors in AWS Cost Anomaly Detection to support linked accounts, cost allocation tags, and cost categories. Previously available only for AWS services, AWS managed monitors now enable you to track costs across all your organizational dimensions with minimal ongoing maintenance. As organizations scale from tens to hundreds of accounts and teams, you can create a single AWS managed monitor that automatically adapts as your organization grows, eliminating the need to maintain hundreds of individual customer managed monitors. After initial setup, this feature transforms cost monitoring from a time-consuming operational task into an automated process that ensures comprehensive anomaly detection coverage while enabling clear segmentation of spending alerts by cost ownership.
