Why not? It would make companies happy.
The reality is that, as much as many would like this feature, I'm not sure that a lot of large customers are actually asking for it. Does anyone who works at a large company know if they've asked for this feature before?
I can imagine why startups might want it, but also, AWS is extremely forgiving with startups and throws tons of money at them, so idk.
What they don’t want is companies that are spending say $2-4 million per month to be able to put in a hard limit at $2.5M.
I would guess most companies spending millions per month on AWS are just guessing what next month’s bill will be, and have been conditioned to not freak out if it’s a million over, as long as that doesn’t happen every month. That conditioning has to start early.
