Your AWS bill went up 40% last month. The invoice has 200 line items across 15 services. The finance team can't read it. The engineering team says "it's just autoscaling." Nobody can tell you which service, which region, or which team is responsible. You're spending $47,000 a month and can't explain why.

AWS-Cost2BI

LiveCloud & DevOps

Understand your AWS bill in plain English.

AWS-Cost2BI connects to your AWS Cost Explorer API and lets you ask cost questions in plain English. Service breakdown, daily trends, anomaly detection, and right-sizing recommendations — all without learning the AWS console.

AWS billing dashboard is too complex for non-technical stakeholders

Plain English cost reports that finance teams can understand

What it replaces

Every feature exists because something was broken before.

Cost anomaly detection

Cost spikes go unnoticed until the monthly bill arrives

AI monitors daily spend and alerts when costs deviate more than 30% from the norm

Service breakdown

200-line AWS bills are impossible for finance to parse

Ask "top 5 most expensive services" or "EC2 cost by instance type" — instant answers

Tag-based allocation

No way to attribute costs to teams, projects, or environments

Query by any AWS tag — "cost by team:backend for last quarter"

Right-sizing

Over-provisioned resources waste money but nobody audits them

Analyzes usage patterns and recommends instance downsizes with estimated monthly savings

Reserved vs on-demand

Are your reserved instances actually being used? Nobody checks.

RI utilization dashboard — shows unused reservations and savings opportunities

Multi-account

Organizations with multiple AWS accounts can't see consolidated costs

Aggregate costs across all linked accounts — query by account or consolidated

Industry Use Cases

Industries using AWS-Cost2BI

Same product, different industries. Here's how teams across sectors use AWS-Cost2BI to solve their specific data pains.

SaaS & Tech

Multi-tenant architecture means one customer might cost more than 10 others combined. Cost per customer isn't shown anywhere in the AWS console.

They ask

Show me AWS cost per customer using our customer_id tag.

Retail & E-commerce

Traffic spikes during sales (Black Friday, festivals) cause unpredictable cost surges. Post-mortem analysis is manual and always too late to act.

They ask

Why did EC2 costs spike 3x during Black Friday week?

Media & Streaming

CDN, S3, and data transfer dominate the bill (often 60%+). Content teams don't know which video or region costs the most to deliver.

They ask

S3 egress costs by bucket for the last 30 days, ranked by cost?

FinTech & Banking

Compliance workloads (PCI, SOC2) run in isolated accounts with expensive infrastructure. Auditors need cost breakdowns, finance needs justification.

They ask

Total cost breakdown for our PCI-compliance isolated VPC?

Gaming

User-load is unpredictable — a viral event can 10x costs overnight. Auto-scaling is there, but over-provisioning wastes money in quieter periods.

They ask

RDS instances with less than 30% average CPU utilization?

Healthcare

HIPAA workloads span multiple accounts and regions. Cost attribution for compliance reporting and budget planning is entirely manual.

They ask

AWS cost by account, filtered to only HIPAA-tagged resources this quarter?
