In this short series, I outline the notes that I took while preparing for the AWS Cloud Practitioner exam.
These are my personal notes that I have made while working through the A Cloud Guru exam practitioner course. They are in no way official notes from AWS.
I would advise you that if you do use my notes to help you revise for this exam, that you use them as a supplement to the most recent information in the White Papers, Exam Guide and go over your knowledge with practice exam papers.

Billing Alerts and Alarms
Alerts and alarms can be set up to notify you when you have reached a specific usage cost in your AWS account. It’s a notification that you will receive automatically when a certain level of AWS spend has been reached. This can be set up globally in your AWS account in the Billing & Cost Management Dashboard and region specific in the CloudWatch service.
