Billing - Kahuna915/Capstone-Cloud-Integration GitHub Wiki
Aws contains a few different ways to set limits or quotas on how much services can cost, these are some of those ways.
—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In setting policies for users you can set them to free tier only so they are not allowed to use any instances that would incur a charge and any instances that do incur a charge would be terminated.
—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alerts can be created that trigger skrips, whos purpose is to stop any instances that have a cost overrun to reduce the amount of unexpected service charges.
