AWS Cost Anomaly Detection now enables you to monitor all linked accounts, cost allocation tags, or cost categories with a single managed monitor. Previously available only for AWS services, this capability helps you identify unusual spending patterns across your entire AWS organization without manual configuration.
As organizations scale, you need visibility into costs for individual accounts, teams, or business units to maintain accountability and quickly identify anomalies. For example, if you track 500 application teams using a ‘team’ cost allocation tag, you previously needed to create and maintain 500 individual monitors. Now, you can create a single managed monitor that automatically tracks each team’s spending separately. When your organization evolves—such as ‘team-mobile’ splitting into ‘team-ios’ and ‘team-android’—both new teams are automatically monitored individually without any configuration changes, ensuring continuous anomaly detection as your organization grows.
The extension of AWS managed monitors to linked accounts, cost allocation tags, and cost categories is available today in all commercial AWS Regions at no additional charge.
