Note: they even have a template now on that page, where you can easily set a zero-cost budget 😃

thanks you this was very helpful, exactly what I was looking for.

[gfsaliev]

This was very useful. Amazon has simplified it even more now.

Thank you for this, I was looking for a simple cost alarm, but all the other videos kept showing the CloudWatch path, which can get tricky and lead to additional costs.

HI stephane, but what If I use various different, DaaS, PaaS, SaaS, FaaS ..etc, then how do I budget for those individually and then holistically within AWS ? secondly is there a tool / documentation within AWS knowledge base which help me estimate costs accurately in case of consuming(e.g. storage say versus compute v.s. streaming v.s. say as the final app grows and more requests are being generated on the app by the final user ) of course types of data might play a role, but in my case I want to be able to use different types i.e. structured and unstructured ? your input is highly appreciated

Hello Stephane,

Is any chance to find which particular Lambda Function executing highly in the CloudWatch Console.

Hi Sir,

While trying to access budget page using IAM user I am getting "An error occurred while processing your request" . please help IAM user having AdministrativeAccess permission.

Another query is, can we create Budget alert using root user as well?

[MahmoudMohamed-siby]

See that budget is for free, think alert also, but what does it mean actions that i should to pay, action for me mean AWS will take action by sending me mail, so this is the alert suppose to be free, this i didn't get. Thanks

[naveedalirehmani]

does setting up 2 different alarms will cost me money?
