AWS does: alerts, hard spending limits and my favourite feature, anomaly detection (sudden jumps in cost).

Wow, that must have been added newly in the past two years. I completely erased and shut down my AWS account, because this was not available; all I could do was set alerts and feebly attempt to terminate the EC2 instance. I am pleased that there is now a way to ensure that cost overruns do not happen. I would certainly consider returning to tinkering with cloud services in light of this.
