Using a template to create a Savings Plans budget

Use the following procedure to create a coverage budget for your Savings Plans using a template.

You can create a budget using a template with recommended configurations. Budget templates are a simplified way to start using AWS Budgets, with a single page workflow, unlike the 5-step workflow that is required for Customizing a budget (advanced).

To create a Savings Plans coverage budget using a template

  1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the AWS Cost Management console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/cost-management/home.

  2. In the navigation pane, choose Budgets.

  3. At the top of the page, choose Create budget.

  4. Under Budget setup, choose Use a template (simplified).

  5. Under Templates, choose Daily Savings Plans coverage budget.

  6. For Budget name, enter the name of your budget. Your budget name must be unique within your account and can use A-Z, a-z, spaces, and the following characters:

    _.:/=+-%@

  7. For Coverage threshold, enter the coverage percentage that you want AWS to notify you at. For example, for a coverage budget where you want to stay above 80 percent, enter 80. Budget notifies you when your overall coverage goes below 80 percent.

  8. For Email recipients, enter the email addresses that you want the notifications to be sent to. Separate multiple email addresses with a comma. A notification can have up to 10 email addresses.

  9. Choose Create budget.
