Developer's Guide to AWS Costs

Introduction

Engineers are spending too much time and money trying to understand and control their AWS Cloud Costs. The Developer's Guide to AWS Costs is a set of guides that share code with Engineers who are working on AWS Cost Analysis to enable quick billing analysis to find cost drivers.

Guides

The information on the Developer's Guide to AWS Costs website is structured in 'Guides'. Each guide will give a user a start-to-finish overview of how to perform analysis on an AWS Service. Guides include details on IAM Permissions (when required), sample code for analysis, and in-depth explanations of query results and the Cost and Usage Report (CUR) fields required for analysis.
