Link: https://www.vantage.sh/features/per-resource-costs Hi HN, I'm Co-Founder and CEO of Vantage and we just made "Per-Resource Costs" available to everyone, including users in our free tier. Vantage will now show you the cost of each individual AWS resource (EC2 instance, RDS instance, S3 Bucket, SNS Topic, Lambda Function, etc). You can drill down into each resource to see subcategory costs so imagine seeing specific egress costs being tied to a specific Cloudfront distribution or EC2 instance. This works by Vantage ingesting and processing Cost and Usage Reports from…

Hi HN, We're the team behind Vantage and ec2instances.info and wanted to share a new microsite we're launching. We profiled the number of distinct AWS billing codes across our customer base and found that there are about 60,000 unique ones. We hear all the time that people are confused about the billing codes present in Cost Explorer or the Cost and Usage Report. Think of these as being things like “Requests-Tier1” for S3 or “CW:GMWI-Metrics” for CloudWatch. There is usually really limited resources for determining what these billing codes are and the AWS documentation isn't always fully…

Hey HN: I'm Kaveh, the founder of Usage (https://www.usage.ai/) We help companies drive down AWS costs. Why? Because the way it's done now is a pain. Stakeholders, especially engineers, are required to spend unnecessary time manually finding underutilized or overly expensive EC2s. We believe the optimization process should be done automatically through a series of sophisticated algorithms. At the moment, there are over 70,000 AWS EC2 prices - doing that manually just won't scale at most organizations. My background is in software engineering. Previous to founding Usage, I…

Hi everyone, I've been working on a side project over quarantine called Usage.ai and I finally feel comfortable enough to launch it. We're a service that plugs directly into AWS, automatically finds savings, and applies those savings at the press of a confirmation button all without ever needing to go to an AWS console. I'd love to get HN's thoughts on it! Demo: https://www.loom.com/share/2a6f1c8e4c214914a1cdd88c6fdec4ac Link: https://www.usage.ai/
