About AWS Cost Explorer
AWS Cost Explorer has an easy-to-use interface that lets you visualize, understand, and manage your AWS costs and usage over time. Get started quickly by creating custom reports that analyze cost and usage data. Analyze your data at a high level (for example, total costs and usage across all accounts) or dive deeper into your cost and usage data to identify trends, pinpoint cost drivers, and detect anomalies. A set of default reports are included to help you quickly gain insight into your cost drivers and usage trends. Set a custom time period, and determine whether you would like to view your data at a monthly or daily level of granularity. Dig deeper into your data by taking advantage of filtering and grouping functionality, using a variety of available dimensions. Use forecasting to get a better idea of your what your costs and usage may look like in the future, so that you can plan ahead.
