I finally sat down and did a proper audit of my AWS account. I knew I had projects running and services connected to my domains, but I had never actually gone line by line through the bill. When I did, I found $13.16 in charges across four separate services, some of which I did not even know were running.
Here is what I found and what I did about it.
AWS is not one bill. It is a lot of meters running at the same time.
Every service you spin up has its own pricing. I had four separate things billing me and I only really understood one of them.
EC2 — $8.25
