Starting today, the Amazon Cost Anomaly Detection is available in Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD, and in Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet. Amazon Cost Anomaly Detection is a free service that monitors your spending patterns to detect anomalous spend and provide root cause analysis. Customers can now reduce cost surprises and enhance control without slowing innovation.
Backed by advanced machine learning technology, Amazon Cost Anomaly Detection is able to identify gradual spend increases and/or one-time cost spikes. To get started, you can create your own cost monitors and alert subscriptions. Based on your business needs, you can create multiple alert subscriptions for the same cost monitor and/or attach multiple cost monitors to one alert subscription.
With each anomaly detection, we also provide customized root cause analysis so you can quickly investigate and address the cost drivers accordingly. You can provide feedback by submitting assessments from the anomaly details page to improve future anomaly detection. As part of the Amazon Cost Management suite, Amazon Cost Anomaly Detection is integrated with Amazon Cost Explorer so you can further visualize and analyze your cost and usage as needed.
