Disclosure: I'm the Co-Founder of Vantage.

This is exactly what we do with Vantage: http://vantage.sh/

We give point-in-time run-rates of all active resources based off of the region and resource/service configuration.

In addition we try to simplify people's understanding of where their costs are coming from. If anyone needs help with this, they can personally reach out to me at [e-mail]

With all due respect, I think the issue here is that your company should not need to exist. Amazon should provide this feature as part of the UX.

Yea they should, but if it doesn't, are you gonna keep waiting or do something about it?

[KirillPanov]

I would be more worried that if you do something about it, Amazon is gonna do something about you.

Starting with obnoxious API changes, followed by ToS changes. Hopefully that's as far as it has to go.

Agreed. Nothing new about this request.

It's like hiring a plane to fly over your house repeatedly to tell you whether or not it's on fire. There has to be a better way.

Same respect, nice tool, but it is sad it is needed. But I guess it's similar to lawyers, police, army, I don't like the need for them, it, but good they exist.
