Cost explorer is a terrible tool. Here, I've said it.
Around 2 years ago, if you wanted to gain visibility on your AWS spend, you either used some vendors who offered you CloudHealth with consulting, you checked new vendors that create visibility and aggregation of data on what the cloud offers, or you had to implement it yourself (like we did).
But two years later, and Amazon Web Services (AWS), the leading (by far) cloud provider in anything related to Cloud Financial Management, we got so many out-of-the-box solutions to help companies onboard this amazing journey.
From the Cudos workshop that gives you beautiful dashboards and visibility on your cloud spend and what drives your company [Example] to Trusted Advisor dashboards [Example] you have so many integrations and visibility out of the box that you can achieve amazing things with little to no effort from the engineering side.
Understanding how AWS expands in workshops and labs they created this amazing effort called the Cloud Intelligence Dashboard which aggregated all the information, workshops, and dashboards in one place.
If you're not using anything, or your expenses to a 3rd party vendor are high without measurable value - run this lab. level 200 is the easiest level from the engineering side, and start your amazing #CFM journey today.
