CloudWatch Anomaly Detection - Amortized Costs

0

I am trying to implement a system within my AWS account to monitor my net amortized cost to detect anomalous spend patterns and alert me when they are identified. I have explored the AWS Cost Anomaly Detection service and found that it only monitors net unblended cost. However, I have reservations that create spikes in cost at the start of the month from upfront costs. To avoid detecting these spikes as a 'false positive' anomaly, I would like to instead use amortized cost to normalize these upfront costs.

In looking at other services to do this, I started exploring CloudWatch. Can the CloudWatch Anomaly Detection capability be used to specifically track the amortized spend for an account?

You can use CloudWatch to monitor RI utilization and coverage, but not cost. You will not get RI upfront fee as "false positive" in Cost Anomaly Detection as it doesn't monitor the following:

  • AWS Marketplace
  • AWS Support
  • WorkSpaces
  • Cost Explorer
  • Budgets
  • AWS Shield
  • Amazon Route 53
  • AWS Certificate Manager
  • Upfront and recurring reserved fee and Savings Plan fees

  • Oh awesome thanks! I did not realize that Cost Anomaly Detection can exclude the upfront costs from reservations. Could you point me towards any documentation that explains that? I would be interested to get further clarity on how that exclusion is done.
