Amazon Budgets
Use the Amazon Budgets API to plan your service usage, service costs, and instance reservations. This API reference provides descriptions, syntax, and usage examples for each of the actions and data types for the Amazon Budgets feature.
Budgets provide you with a way to see the following information:
-
How close your plan is to your budgeted amount or to the free tier limits
-
Your usage-to-date, including how much you've used of your Reserved Instances (RIs)
-
Your current estimated charges from Amazon, and how much your predicted usage will accrue in charges by the end of the month
-
How much of your budget has been used
Amazon updates your budget status several times a day. Budgets track your unblended costs, subscriptions, refunds, and RIs. You can create the following types of budgets:
-
Cost budgets - Plan how much you want to spend on a service.
-
Usage budgets - Plan how much you want to use one or more services.
-
RI utilization budgets - Define a utilization threshold, and receive alerts when your RI usage falls below that threshold. This lets you see if your RIs are unused or under-utilized.
-
RI coverage budgets - Define a coverage threshold, and receive alerts when the number of your instance hours that are covered by RIs fall below that threshold. This lets you see how much of your instance usage is covered by a reservation.

Amazon Cost and Usage Report track the monthly Amazon costs and usage associated with your Amazon Web Services account.

Amazon Price List
Amazon Price List API is a centralized and convenient way to
programmatically query Amazon for services, products, and pricing information. The Amazon Price List
uses standardized product attributes such as Location, Storage
Class, and Operating System, and provides prices at the SKU
level. You can use the Amazon Price List to build cost control and scenario planning tools, reconcile
billing data, forecast future spend for budgeting purposes, and provide cost benefit
analysis that compare your internal workloads with Amazon.
Use GetServices without a service code to retrieve the service codes for all AWS services, then
GetServices with a service code to retrieve the attribute names for
that service. After you have the service code and attribute names, you can use GetAttributeValues
to see what values are available for an attribute. With the service code and an attribute name and value,
you can use GetProducts to find specific products that you're interested in, such as
an AmazonEC2 instance, with a Provisioned IOPS
volumeType.
