When you are comfortable with your budget parameters and filters, select the ”Configure thresholds“ button in the bottom left-hand corner to move to the next step. Once you have input your budget parameters, such as budget name, period, and amount, you can can apply filters to further segment your costs. To create an action, select ”Create budget“ in the top right-hand corner of the screen. You can create actions for cost and usage budgets. You’ll notice a new “Actions“ column, which lists the status of your budget actions (e.g., standby, pending, or exceeded). To get started with AWS Budgets Actions, navigate to the AWS Budgets Dashboard view.

Actions can be configured for actual (after they’ve occurred) or for forecasted (before they occur) budgeted amounts. There are three action types: Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies, Service Control policies (SCPs), or target running instances (EC2 or RDS). Our Senior Product Manager, Matt Cowsert, will share how you can create your very own budget actions today.ĪWS Budgets now allows you to configure actions - responses to cost and usage in your account or set of accounts- that will be applied automatically or via a workflow approval process once a budget target has been exceeded. We are pleased to announce that this came to a reality with the launch of AWS Budget Actions. Rather than warning you of a forecasted or actual cost overage, AWS can act on your behalf and stop the activities that caused the overage. Imagine you can put some real teeth to your AWS Budgets.
