Keep track of your costs with Cloud Platform Billing Alerts
September 10, 2015
On-demand computing and the efficiencies that come from being able to scale your compute resources up and down as your workload changes are part of the reason why running in the cloud is so appealing. However, that flexibility can mean that you need to pay more attention to variability in costs. Today, the beta release of
Billing Alerts
is available to help you keep track of your costs and avoid surprises on your bills.
Once you’ve set an alert on your account, the Billing Alerts feature will send email notifications to billing administrators when the charges for the current month exceed the threshold you’ve set. Notifications will also be sent as your costs approach the threshold. You can cancel the alert at any time in the
Developers Console
.
If you’re looking for more detailed cost monitoring, the existing
Billing Export
feature provides a daily export of usage and cost estimates, in either JSON or CSV formats, for easy import into your favorite tools.
The Billing Alerts beta is available now to everyone – to learn how to set an alert for your billing account using the Developers Console visit our
help center article
.
You can find more information about Billing Alerts
here
, and we always welcome
feedback
