A service that allows you to set custom budgets for your AWS costs and usage, and receive alerts when you approach or exceed those thresholds.
AWS CloudFormation
A service that enables you to use templates to provision and manage AWS resources in a predictable and orderly manner.
AWS CloudTrail
A service that records AWS Management Console sign-in events and API calls made on your account and delivers log files to an Amazon S3 bucket.
Amazon CloudWatch

AWS Config
A service that enables you to assess, audit, and evaluate the configurations of your AWS resources. It also provides continuous configuration data for your resources, and lets you review historical configurations and determine how a resource was configured at any point in the past.
AWS Cost and Usage Report
AWS Cost and Usage Report (CUR) is a service that provides detailed data about your costs and usage of AWS services. It includes information such as the number of requests, the number of data transferred, and the total cost associated with each service. It also includes information about usage, such as the number of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances or Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) objects, and the number of hours or data transferred. The report can be used to track costs and usage over time, and to gain insights into your usage patterns, helping you to optimize your AWS spending. Additionally, it can also be used to set up budgets, alerts, and cost allocation tags, and to export data to other systems such as Amazon QuickSight, Amazon Redshift, or Amazon Athena for further analysis.
Amazon EventBridge (Amazon CloudWatch Events)
Amazon EventBridge (formerly Amazon CloudWatch Events) is a service that allows you to easily create rules that match selected events from AWS services and route them to one or more target functions or streams. It allows you to respond to state changes in your AWS resources, such as changes to a DynamoDB table or the creation of an S3 object, by triggering automated workflows.
