AWS – AWS Cost Anomaly Detection enables advanced alerting through AWS User Notifications

AWS Cost Anomaly Detection now integrates with AWS User Notifications (via Amazon EventBridge), enabling customers to create enhanced alerting capabilities in the AWS User Notifications console. This integration lets customers configure sophisticated alert rules based on service, account, or other cost dimensions to identify and respond to unexpected spending changes faster. Using AWS User Notifications, customers can receive immediate or aggregated alerts through multiple channels including email, AWS Chatbot, and the AWS Console Mobile Application, while maintaining a centralized history of alert notifications.

This new capability allow customers to customize their cost monitoring by creating alert rules in AWS User Notifications. Now customers can configure rules with higher thresholds for machine learning services that naturally experience cost spikes during training, while setting lower thresholds for stable services like databases where small changes might indicate configuration issues. Customers also benefit from verified contact management, ensuring alerts reach the right teams through validated delivery channels that can be reused across multiple alert configurations.

These enhancements are available in all AWS Regions, except the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions and the China Regions. To learn more about setting up alerts in AWS User Notifications and getting started, visit the AWS Cost Anomaly Detection product page and documentation.
