AWS server running cost calculate

[Shashidhar.Yedulla]

HI, This is shashi, I am looking for a solution about Aws sever cost calculate? I am running 70 AWS servers in different environments, we have a scheduler for stop and start the servers periodically. for curiosity, I would like to know how much I am spending in each environment and how much I am saving using scheduler.  is there any procedure to display all these servers availability and cost calculator in a single dashboard?

Hi Sashi,

The best fit is to use the "AWS Billing Monitoring Extension" to collect the billing metrics from AWS Cloudwatch. Once these metrics are in the Controller, you can create a custom dashboard that combines server availability and cost on a single screen. You can also configure Health Rules to alert you if the usage is higher (or lower) than you expect.
