Cost Forecast
30 days of daily AWS cost plus a 30-day forecast, with cost anomalies and remediation hints.
Same idea on another cloud
What this pane shows
A daily cost chart covering the last 30 days of actuals plus a 30-day forecast with confidence band, sourced from AWS Cost Explorer's forecast API. Below the chart, recent cost anomalies AWS flagged are listed with their root cause (service plus usage type) and a remediation hint drawn from a curated lookup table — for example, NAT Gateway egress spikes get an actionable note about VPC endpoints.
Key use cases
- Forecast end-of-month spend against budget two weeks ahead.
- Catch a runaway service before it blows the monthly threshold.
- Investigate an anomaly with both the dollar impact and a concrete next step.
- Compare actual versus expected spend on an anomalous day at a glance.
How to embed
lp.js is the single-entry loader: it injects the shared LightPane runtime
(and sd-embed.css) once per page. Add this pane's own stylesheet and script;
the pane mounts itself wherever the matching <div> is in the DOM.
<!-- In <head> — this pane's stylesheet -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://lightpane.io/_pane-tests/aws/cost-forecast/cost-forecast.css">
<!-- Your access key (inline, or set window.lpEmbed.accessKey from your own JS) -->
<script>window.lpEmbed = { accessKey: "<your-access-key>" };</script>
<!-- Where the pane should appear -->
<div class="lp-cost-forecast-panel" data-lp-account="<your-account-alias>"></div>
<!-- Before </body> — shared loader + this pane's script -->
<script src="https://lightpane.io/embed/lp.js"></script>
<script src="https://lightpane.io/_pane-tests/aws/cost-forecast/cost-forecast.js" defer></script>
