A. Create a new IAM role. Attach the AWSPurchaseOrdersServiceRolePolicy AWS managed policy to the role. Check AWS Cost Explorer on a regular basis to monitor current costs and forecasted costs.
B. Create an AWS Cost and Usage Report. Create an AWS Step Functions state machine that runs when a new usage file is generated. Configure the state machine to pass the data to Amazon Forecast and to invoke an AWS Lambda function. Configure the Lambda function to parse the data and to send a notification to an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic if costs exceed the thresholds.
C. Create an AWS Cost and Usage Report. Separate the current costs and forecasted costs by service. Schedule the report to be sent to an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic each month.
D. Create a recurring cost budget in AWS Budgets. Create an alert for the actual cost. Create a second alert for the forecasted costs. Configure an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic to receive the alerts.
