Monitor AWS costs, set alert thresholds, and react swiftly to increasing costs.
Did you know that AWS account left unattended can leave you washed up
even in a single day?
How is that possible?
A distributed DoS attack may be leveraged by anyone to substantially boost your resources usage, generating increased charges, which you are likely to notice only after you get monthly statement. Even a single file shared using S3 can generate over $10,000 monthly bill. At that time it will be already too late. You will owe Amazon a lot of money, and since you've actually used the resources, you will have to pay. This is threatening not only to your monthly budget, but to your whole business as well.
