Let's talk about breaking down AWS costs.

There are two ways to break down costs: vertical and horizontal. Imagine you run a food cart and are trying to manage your food costs. Vertical is like looking at how much you spend on each ingredient in total. Horizontal is like grouping these costs by how much you are spending on each item on the menu. With vertical, you see total costs by service. With horizontal, you use tags to see costs by project or feature. Combining both? That's when you become a true AWS billing expert, analyzing costs with pinpoint accuracy!

Question for you:

Do you think AWS bills are confusing on purpose?

Are there other ways you are grouping your cloud computing costs?
