@ -449,7 +449,7 @@ Billing and Cost Management
- 🔹Enable [billing reports](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awsaccountbilling/latest/aboutv2/detailed-billing-reports.html) and install an open source tool to help manage or monitor AWS resource utilization. [**Netflix Ice**](https://github.com/Netflix/ice) is probably the first one you should try. Check out [docker-ice](https://github.com/jonbrouse/docker-ice) for a Dockerized version that eases installation.
- 🔸One challenge with Ice is that it doesn’t cover amortized cost of reserved instances.
- Other tools include [Security Monkey](https://github.com/Netflix/security_monkey) and [Cloud Custodian](https://github.com/capitalone/cloud-custodian).
- **Third-party services:** Several companies offer services designed to help you gain insights into expenses or lower your AWS bill, such as [OpsClarity](http://http//www.opsclarity.com/), [Cloudability](https://www.cloudability.com/), [CloudHealth Technologies](https://www.cloudhealthtech.com/), and [ParkMyCloud](http://www.parkmycloud.com/). Some of these charge a percentage of your bill, which may be expensive.

- AWS’s [Trusted Advisor](https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/trustedadvisor/) is another service that can help with cost concerns.
- Don’t be shy about asking your account manager for guidance in reducing your bill. It’s their job to keep you happily using AWS.
- **Tagging for cost visibility:** As the infrastructure grows, a key part of managing costs is understanding where they lie. It’s strongly advisable to [tag resources](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/resource-groups-and-tagging/), and as complexity grows, group them effectively. If you [set up billing allocation appropriately](http://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/aws-cost-allocation/), you can then get visibility into expenses according to organization, product, individual engineer, or any other way that is helpful.
