Cloud Spend Analysis - OpsBeacon

What it shows

Cloud Spend Analysis gives you a structured breakdown of your AWS spend over any time period. Ask Beacon for a summary and it returns spend by service, top cost movers, month-over-month change, and projected end-of-month total.

How to use it

@Beacon what's my AWS spend this month?
@Beacon show me spend by service for last week
@Beacon which AWS accounts are driving the most cost?
@Beacon break down my EC2 costs by region

Output format

Beacon returns:

Total spend for the period with % change vs prior period
Top services ranked by cost with absolute and relative spend
Notable changes — services where spend moved significantly
Projected month-end based on current run rate

Filtering by tag

If your AWS resources are tagged (e.g., by team, environment, or project), you can ask Beacon to filter by tag:

@Beacon show me spend tagged env:production
@Beacon what's the cost for the data-platform team this month?

Tag-based filtering requires tags to be activated in AWS Cost Explorer. See AWS Integration for setup.
