AWS Budgets now supports Billing View for cross-account cost monitoring

AWS announces support for Billing View in AWS Budgets, enabling organizations to create budgets that span multiple member accounts without requiring access to the management account. This integration helps organizations better align monitoring their spend with their business structure and operational needs.

With this enhancement, you can create budgets based on filtered views of cost management data based on cost allocation tags or specific AWS accounts in your organization. For example, engineering leaders can create budgets for applications that span multiple accounts using views filtered by cost allocation tags, while FinOps teams can create organization-wide budgets using unfiltered views - all without requiring management account access. This helps streamline budget management while maintaining security best practices by minimizing management account access.

This feature is available in all AWS Regions where AWS Budgets and Billing View are available, except the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions and the China Regions.
