Amazon Web Service Budget has come with a new feature to let customers keep a customized budget and also receive alerts about their cost or usage if exceeds or the possibility of exceeding their budgeted account. Amazon Customers can now receive alerts and monitor their Reserved Instance (“RI”) when the expected budget and utilization are exceeding their limits.

Reserved Instance Utilization monitors the percentage of purchased Reserved Instance hours there were utilized by the matching instances.

Reserved Instance Utilization alerts now only support Amazon EC2.
