Each movement is attributed by the organisation's ownership rules (cloudledger rule): a tag, a linked account or a name pattern. What none of them claims is unowned, and that is the finding. The costed actions are not built yet.

Monthly report

Cloud spend in August 2026 was 48 340, 0.7% above the monthly budget of 48 000.

Not every earlier month of the year is on record here, so this report gives no year-to-date figure.

RDS storage added 540: autoscaling storage on analytics-replica, no ceiling set. (RDS: managed databases.)

EBS gp3 volumes added 190: snapshots of retired build agents never deleted.

CloudFront data transfer took 110 off the bill: compression turned on for the asset bucket.

Unowned spend is 6 910, 14% of the bill, spread across 58 resources carrying no team tag. It cannot be attributed to anyone, and it will appear in every report until the tags exist.

No forecast is made yet, so this report does not say where next month lands.

No costed actions are recorded for this account yet.
