I work at a place that has an eight figure monthly AWS bill. They won’t use this.

I had a personal development account for ~15 years. I tinker with infrastructure stuff and had built some centralized event reporting. One day about two years later I turned on sqs data events into cloudtrail. What I didn’t realize was that this closed a feedback loop and over the next couple of hours my run rate went to about $4k per day in cloudtrail+sqs usage.

I didn’t realize it until I hit the next months billing alarm immediately the next month. I’d racked up $25k in usage fees.

I’ll be using this feature. Nothing I run is worth that risk.

Damn. Did you end up having to pay all of that?
