Dear Users:
Hello everyone, I'm Little T from AWS Tweaker. We used to be called AWS Bill Management Tool, now renamed to AWS Tweaker. I'll be responsible for version updates from now on, please bear with me. The new version update is finally out, come and take a look!
If you're a business unit leader, do you care about how much your business actually spends on AWS? The new version solves this for you by splitting bills by business, letting you accurately track business spending trends. You can see your own business bill at a glance without confusion.
Business Unit Leader
I want to see only my managed business, nothing else
If you're the company's cloud operations leader, do you want to know which services RI is being used on? The new version solves this by displaying RI utilization and coverage rates, letting you understand your RI usage.
Cloud Operations Leader
Which services are RI actually used on
If you don't have an account but want to see the AWS Tweaker billing management system, what should you do? Self-registration opens the door for you to enter the system.
New User
I want to use the system, what should I do
Someone once asked: I want to see the usage of EC2, RDS, Aurora or S3, what should I do? Come on, the new version opens up what you want - runtime, storage usage, snapshot usage, traffic usage are all reported.
Management
Where to see service usage details
As the saying goes, important things should be said three times: cost, cost, cost. We care most about costs, so our costs also bring surprises. You can see the historical trend of costs to estimate next month's spending, no longer being in the dark.
Finance Personnel
Save money for the company
Having said so much, let's summarize:
- Split bills by business, just look at your own territory.
- RI utilization and coverage rates, just to see where you spent.
- Multiple resource detail displays, understand resource usage details.
- Self-registration enabled, no need to ask others to see bills.
- View historical cost trends, predict future cost expenditures.
Of course there are many other changes, I won't list them all here. Please refer to the update announcement below for details!
