Hi,
Interesting post, I recently finished a write on up billing essentials but using AWS budgets. In the past I had used cloudwatch with alarms on estimated charges but prefer budgets now. Keen to hear your thoughts?

agreed - as I prepare to update my course, I've been pleasantly surprised by the additional tools, services and patterns from AWS to address cost control. In particular, I am interested in adding categories (and rules) to tagging practices in combinations with budgets and still more tools.
