Cost Explorer views
This revision card explains Cost Explorer views. It starts from the need that looking only at the total invoice hides which service or team grew. It describes cost Explorer groups cost by service, account, region, and tag over a date range. The how-to section notes filter last 30 days; group by Service; then by tag Project for the top service. An example on the card is you see EC2 up 40% on Project=ml-lab after a forgotten g4 instance.
