After my account started getting bills this month for pennies for which there was no obvious accounting, I slashed my AWS costs by 100%.

I'm back to managing my own systems. So much cheaper and less chance of nonlinear bills.




In case you ever decide to return to AWS, its Cost Explorer is far from perfect but it can show you where your expenses are coming from, especially if your costs are pennies. In the last re:invent they even released daily granularity when grouping by resources (https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws-cloud-financial-management/...).


Probably free tier expiration for some small change. With me it was AWS KMS.
