That's the thing that annoys me the most about AWS. There's no easy way to find out all the resources I'm currently paying for (or if there's a way, I couldn't find it).
Without an easy to understand overview, it feels like I don't have full control of my own account.
It clearly does, it's just different skills/time/energy requirements compared to colocation.
There's some AWS resources, like for example route53 hosted zones, which bill only once at the end of the month, and so a daily or hourly bill won't tell you anything about leaked resources there.
There's at least a one resource that only bills once a year, so yet again you won't catch those with even monthly usage reports.
Why can we not have a "billable items" dashboard which simply shows, globally, a list of all items in your account which are billable, and how much they will cost if left running for 1 more hour/month?
Cost Explorer, in the management account if you’ve got Organization set up.
closest i found in aws was something like tag manager?
BTW I'm a supporter of spending caps, not saying this should be the only way.
Or that my card will expire and AWS will send that $0.03 bill to collections and slap court fees on and send a bailiff.
Their whole setup seems intended to cause expensive mistakes.
