2. AWS Billing Alerts:Log in to the AWS Management Console and navigate to the CloudWatch service.In the CloudWatch dashboard, click on "Alarms" in the left sidebar.Click on "Create Alarm" and choose the metric for billing (e.g., EstimatedCharges).Configure the conditions for triggering the alarm (e.g., when estimated charges exceed a certain threshold).Set the actions to perform when the alarm state changes (e.g., send a notification to an SNS topic).Review and confirm the alarm configuration.Once the alarm is created, you will receive notifications when your AWS billing exceeds the specified threshold.

By setting up alerts for both EC2 instances and AWS billing in Grafana Cloud and AWS CloudWatch, you can stay informed about important events and take timely actions to manage your resources effectively.
