How are you tracking cost savings? #137

Closed atqhg23 closed 1 year ago

Just curious on how others are determining the cost savings of the cleanup.

On our end, we use cost explorer to get the cost difference between the day before the destroy run and the day of the destroy run (the destroy run is set to run about an hour after the new day starts).

We use filters to only look at the services that are enabled and only at the accounts that the cleanup is running in.

Will go ahead and close this, we're currently looking more into this to improve accuracy
