AWS FinOps Skill for Opsy

Step 1: Cost Explorer First

Start with Cost Explorer — one call covers all regions and services:

1. Spend by service — identifies top cost drivers
2. Spend by region — shows where resources live
3. Daily trend — spots anomalies

Focus on services representing >5% of spend.

If Credits Mask Costs ($0 spend)

Check if Resource Explorer is enabled:

aws resource-explorer-2 list-indexes --region us-east-1
