		bravura on Oct 6, 2020 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: DigitalOcean App Platform Correct me if I'm wrong, but AWS doesn't allow you to do hard limits. I was creating a public S3 bucket today and wanted there to be a hard limit, so I couldn't get slapped with a huge AWS bill. Looking at the docs, it appears I can get alerts but not set a hard limit on my billing.

AWS allow to set limits on autoscaling groups, ECS, EKS. All the things with autoscaling really.

If you're worried about billing, S3 is not a great choice. S3 is precisely unlimited storage for enterprise.

Saying that something that is billed based on usage is not also able to have it's usage capped seems weird.
