A $0.00 that really meant "not billed yet"
By Rick Wise
This week I fixed a bug in the scanner I build, CloudWise, so I'm biased. It looks up what a resource was billed, to confirm a finding is real money. For a brand-new resource the billing report has no rows yet. The scanner read "no rows" as a confirmed $0.00 and dropped the finding. On my test account it hid an idle Elastic IP that was created minutes before the scan. Now a resource newer than the report's coverage shows "not yet billed" and keeps its estimate. Resources old enough to have rows, and still at $0, keep the confirmed zero. The lesson I'm taking: a zero can mean free or not measured yet. Make the tool say which. https://cloudcostwise.io/?utm_source=buildside&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=build-in-public
