If the AWS tools fail to provide you this information than you can just tag everything (we use scope, stage, service, region, owner tags, example: global, dev, hadoop, eu-west-1, data-engineering) and it is trivial to generate a cost report where you can drill down by environments, teams, services, etc.

Exactly,

I’m often fielding questions over on r/aws about how to do X on AWS where X is something simple. I then ask are they trying to solve problem X or are they trying to learn AWS. If it is the former, just use LightSail. Outside of serverless applications, I wouldn’t want the complications of full fledge AWS for a small project and I get paid to know the ins and outs of it.
