This is way too complicated for people who use AWS on a small scale. Maybe if they provided some template to implement that system in the first place?

Anyway, they should be able to protect people from an unexpected $1k charge. Once you deal with alerts triggering automatic infrastructure changes, $1k is likely a value you won't even notice.

This is still a bit low level. You need to think through the policies and they don't affect the traffic. I don't think that's enough for beginners.
