Automated cost anomaly detection and root cause analysis
AWS Cost Anomaly Detection
AWS Cost Anomaly Detection: What Is It?
Without limiting creativity, AWS Cost Anomaly Detection enhances management and reduces cost shocks. AWS Cost Anomaly Detection uses state-of-the-art machine learning technology to identify anomalous spending and its root causes so you can take immediate action. It merely takes three simple actions to create your own contextualized monitor, and you'll be alerted whenever any unexpected expenditure is discovered. Allow builders to develop and allow AWS Cost Anomaly Detection to monitor your expenditure to reduce the likelihood of unforeseen expenses.To begin, create AWS Cost Anomaly Detection using the Cost Management Console or the AWS Cost Explorer API. Once you set up your monitor and alert choices, AWS will send you a daily or weekly summary or individual alerts via email or the Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS). Additionally, you can monitor and do your own anomaly investigation using AWS Cost Explorer.
Advantages
Simple to set up
Use this simple three-step setup to evaluate spend anomalies for individual AWS services, member accounts, cost allocation tags, or cost categories.Cut down on false positives
By better understanding your cost drivers based on seasonally aware trends (e.g. weekly), you can further investigate to reduce false positives.Specific thresholds for anomalies
Get alerts and establish your own custom anomalous thresholds, either daily, weekly, or individually.Display the daily cost patterns
With the most crucial expenses automatically filtered out, you can quickly monitor daily spending patterns in AWS Expense Explorer.Use cases
Reduce unforeseen costs
Get automated detection warnings via email or Amazon SNS topic at the frequency of your choice to stay informed about spend abnormalities. By delivering alerts to your Slack channel or Amazon Chime chat room, you may use Amazon SNS topics to promote teamwork and expedite alert response.Create a subscription for alerts
After constructing your cost monitor, you can choose your preferred alerting strategy by setting a monetary barrier (e.g., only alerting on anomalies with an impact of more than $1,000). Because abnormality Detection handles it for you and adjusts over time, you don't need to define an abnormality (like a percentage or dollar surge).Receive notifications
You're set to go once you've created alert subscriptions and spending monitors! irregularity Detection will be operational within 24 hours, and you will be notified if an irregularity reaches your alarm level. By visiting your Anomaly Detection dashboard, you may monitor the activities, including abnormalities discovered below your alert level.Using AWS Cost Anomaly Detection to find unusual spending
The AWS Cost Anomaly Detection feature uses machine learning models to identify and alert you to odd expenditure patterns in the AWS services you have deployed.The benefits of AWS Cost Anomaly Detection include the following:
You will receive notifications individually in aggregated reports via either an email or an Amazon SNS subject.
Create an AWS Chatbot for Amazon SNS topics that links the topic to a Slack channel or an Amazon Chime chat room. For further information, see Getting anomaly alerts in Slack and Amazon Chime.
You can use machine learning algorithms to evaluate your spending patterns and minimize false positive alarms. For example, you can evaluate natural growth and seasonality on a weekly or monthly basis.
You can investigate the underlying reason of the anomaly, such as the AWS account, service, region, or consumption type that is driving up the cost.
It is up to you how you evaluate your costs. You have the option to look at all of your AWS services, cost allocation tags, cost categories, or individual member accounts.
About three times a day, after processing your billing data, AWS Cost Anomaly Detection looks for abnormalities in your net unblended cost data that is, net costs after any relevant discounts have been calculated. You could experience a slight delay in receiving alerts. There may be a 24-hour delay in the Cost Explorer data used for Cost Anomaly Detection. As a result, it may take up to 24 hours to detect an anomaly following use. If you make a new monitor, it can take a whole day before you begin to notice new anomalies. Ten days of historical service consumption data are needed before anomalies for a new service subscription can be found.
