Give this a try:-
Go to my Billing dashboard.
Under left pane -> Billing -> go to Bills.
Here you can find bills according to month with charges based on different services.If you click on a specific service(drop down), you can find, under which region the service has been launched and its charges
Depending on the access level you have in the project, there are 2 options
Option 1 (Mentioned in the previous comments)
- Go to my Billing dashboard
- Under left pane -> Billing -> go to Bills.
This option work only if you have access to the billing information
Option 2 - Use the VPC Dashboard
Search for VPC
In the VPC Dashboard you can see "Resources by Region"
Notes: This will give you information about the selected region in the top right corner, however, each resource contains The see all regions dropdown that gives an indication of where that resource is used.
2Often the Cost Explorer is one of the best tools to identify where the money is being spent without much delays -- if you check on your bill, it will take the entire cycle to find out.
On the top of your chart on CE, you can change the grouping and usually Usage Type makes it easier to understand the exact usage of that service.
Also, keep in mind if you don't see the expected service on AWS Console, double-check if you are looking at the correct region (top right of your screen).
1Firstly, you can check aws bills to see for what you have been charted for - Also, aws has a tool called trusted advisor that will be able to help you to optimize your pricing. Lastly, there is a tool called cost explorer - , but personally I haven't tried it yet.
Another option to see all resources being used is to go to the "AWS Resource Groups"-->"Tag Editor". Select "All Regions" and "All Supported Resource Types" (or any specific resource you are interested in. Click "Search resources". (hopefully) Done!
Firstly, go to Billing Dashboard. It open as "AWS Billing Dashboard" (notice ../billing/home in the url).
- If you want to view all different aws-services you have been consuming, along with their bills. From the left-pan menu, navigate to => Cost Explorer -> Launch Cost Explorer.
Here you can find bills according to your months, regions, service-type, usage-type, etc. with charges based on different services. - If you want to view your cumulative bill (regarding all usage of aws services), from the left-pane menu go to Bills.
