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.

AWS Budgets vs AWS Cost Explorer
AWS Budgets
- Gives you the ability to set custom budgets that alert you when your costs or usage exceed (or are forecasted to exceed) your budgeted amount.
- Used to budget costs before they have been incurred
AWS Cost Explorer
- Easy-to-use interface that lets you visualize, understand, and manage your AWS costs and usage over time.
- Used to explore costs after they have been incurred
