Introducing AWS Budgets Reports

Posted on: Jul 9, 2019

Starting today, you can create and send daily, weekly, or monthly reports to monitor the performance of your AWS Budgets. Using the new AWS Budgets Reports console, you can easily select the subset of budgets that you would like to include in your report, define the delivery frequency, and specify your email recipients. For example, you can create a report that monitors all budgets for linked accounts belonging to a particular business unit and have that report delivered each morning to that business unit’s engineering, product, and finance leaders.

AWS Budgets gives you the ability to set custom budgets that alert you when your costs or usage exceed (or are forecasted to exceed) your budgeted amount. You can also use AWS Budgets to set reservation utilization or coverage targets and receive alerts when your metrics drop below the threshold you define. Reservation alerts support Amazon EC2, Amazon RDS, Amazon Redshift, Amazon ElastiCache, and Elasticsearch reservations.

To learn more about AWS Budgets Reports, please refer to the AWS Budgets webpage or the Managing your Costs with Budgets user guide. You can also proceed directly to the AWS Budgets Reports dashboard.
