They also do not give you any easy to understand centralized view of where you're spending money.
I spent a week trying to figure out why AWS kept charging me a $1.36 every month. Turns out I had a reserved instance that I forgot about. However damned if any of their "cost explorer" can help you at all.
The only way to deal with it is to open the EC2 console and then switch to each zone one by one until you find one that has any running or reserved instances.
The AWS console is a joke, I have no idea why its so popular.
