What problem does it solve? Cloud bills grow unpredictably when resources are over-provisioned, untagged, or left running outside business hours, and teams lack visibility into where spend goes. This Skill provides concrete patterns for right-sizing instances, scheduling resources, tagging for cost allocation, setting budget alerts, and detecting cost anomalies. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Right-Sizing Analysis: Analyze EC2 CPU utilization via CloudWatch metrics to recommend downsizing or upgrading instance types. - Resource Scheduling & Savings Plans: Automate start/stop schedules with EventBridge rules and calculate Savings Plans versus on-demand cost differences. - Tagging, Budgets & Anomaly Detection: Apply standard cost allocation tags, create budget alerts with email notifications, and detect spend anomalies using statistical deviation on Cost Explorer data. - Use Case: A team notices their AWS bill doubled last month. Use this Skill to generate a cost report grouped by service and tag, detect which days had anomalous spend, and create a budget alert that emails the team at 80% of the monthly limit. ## Quick Start Analyze my AWS account for underutilized EC2 instances and set up a monthly budget alert that emails the team when spending exceeds 80 percent.
