→AWS cost monitoring
Normally using resources from AWS costs money. AWS costs are very competitive, but their resources are not free. In an AWS Academy Learner Lab you get a 100$ credit which will be more than enough to cover all your resources until the end of the course if you're not reckless.
{{Admon/important|You are responsible for your AWS usage!|If you run out of credits: you will have to find another way to finance completing the required hands-on parts of OPS345OSL840.}}
Take this as an opportunity during OPS345 to learn what costs how much money in the cloud. The skills of managing cloud costs are very valuable. Unfortunately AWS Academy doesn't make it easy for you. On the unrestricted AWS you have access to AWS Budgets, Amazon CloudWatch Billing Alarms, and other tools to help you monitor and control your costs. But due to the way AWS Academy was designed: you won't have access to those tools. That's in return for the free 100$, which most students don't complain about.
