Where do I check for active resources I no longer need in AWS?

Asked 3 years ago

I received a bill from Amazon Web Services last month, but I’m having trouble figuring out what some of the charges were for. I want to prevent any future charges that I may incur for active resources that I no longer have use for. Can someone explain where I can check for active resources so I can terminate the ones I don’t need?

Follow these 5 simple steps to view your active but not-so-wanted resources in AWS and avoid the unnecessary future charges:
Open the "AWS Billing and Cost Management console."
Choose "Bills" in the navigation pane. You can check for the details, which will show you all active resources.
In consolidated billing, the "Consolidated Bill Details" tab and "Bill Details By Account" will show you the activity for each account in the organization.
You can expand the "Details" section to identify the Regions that are incurring charges.
If needed, terminate the resources for those Regions.
And voila! You have successfully subsided the extra charges on your active but unwanted AWS resources.
