AWS monitoring (and billing) is garbage because they make an extraordinary amount of money on unintentional spend.

"But look at how many monitoring solutions they have in the dashboard! Why, just last re:invent they announced 20 new monitoring features!"

They make a big fuss and show about improving monitoring but it's always crippled in some way that makes it easy to get wrong and time-consuming or expensive to get right.

I’m genuinely curious. Which parts of monitoring is crippled or difficult to use?
