AWS introduced a Detected Anomalies widget within its BCM Dashboards, allowing users to review cost anomalies in context with budgets, savings plans, usage, and coverage reports. The widget summarizes anomaly counts and their financial impacts relative to current spend. Filters enable customization by severity, service, account, and region, and look-back periods of up to 90 days can be selected.
Users can investigate anomaly details directly and record assessments through a direct link to the AWS Cost Anomaly Detection console. The widget supports sharing across accounts, exports in multiple formats, and email scheduling. This feature is available in all commercial AWS Regions at no additional cost.
