A monthly AWS bill review for small teams SUNRISE CLOUD | support@ai-sunrise.cloud A repeatable agenda for understanding cloud spend without turning the review into a spreadsheet exercise. EXPLAIN THE CHANGE [ ] Compare the same billing periods and identify one-off charges. [ ] Separate business growth from a configuration change. [ ] Break down the largest services before looking for small anomalies. CHOOSE REVERSIBLE ACTIONS FIRST [ ] Check stopped, idle and unattached resources with their owners. [ ] Review non-production operating schedules. [ ] Validate sizing against actual demand before reducing capacity. MAKE THE NEXT REVIEW EASIER [ ] Assign ownership to unallocated costs. [ ] Set budget notifications that reach someone who can act. [ ] Record the action, expected effect and date for checking the result. Use the action list to request a scoped cost-control review. Commitment purchases need a separate usage and commercial assessment. Preparation guide; not an official AWS assessment.
