BudgetName -> (string)
The name of a budget. The name must be unique within an account. The

.BudgetLimit -> (structure)
The total amount of cost, usage, RI utilization, RI coverage, Savings Plans utilization, or Savings Plans coverage that you want to track with your budget.
BudgetLimit
is required for cost or usage budgets, but optional for RI or Savings Plans utilization or coverage budgets. RI and Savings Plans utilization or coverage budgets default to100
, which is the only valid value for RI or Savings Plans utilization or coverage budgets. You can’t useBudgetLimit
withPlannedBudgetLimits
forCreateBudget
andUpdateBudget
actions.Amount -> (string)
The cost or usage amount that is associated with a budget forecast, actual spend, or budget threshold.
Unit -> (string)
The unit of measurement that is used for the budget forecast, actual spend, or budget threshold, such as dollars or GB.
PlannedBudgetLimits -> (map)
A map containing multiple
BudgetLimit
, including current or future limits.
PlannedBudgetLimits
is available for cost or usage budget and supports monthly and quarterlyTimeUnit
.For monthly budgets, provide 12 months of
PlannedBudgetLimits
values. This must start from the current month and include the next 11 months. Thekey
is the start of the month,UTC
in epoch seconds.For quarterly budgets, provide 4 quarters of
PlannedBudgetLimits
value entries in standard calendar quarter increments. This must start from the current quarter and include the next 3 quarters. Thekey
is the start of the quarter,UTC
in epoch seconds.If the planned budget expires before 12 months for monthly or 4 quarters for quarterly, provide the
PlannedBudgetLimits
values only for the remaining periods.If the budget begins at a date in the future, provide
PlannedBudgetLimits
values from the start date of the budget.After all of the
BudgetLimit
values inPlannedBudgetLimits
are used, the budget continues to use the last limit as theBudgetLimit
. At that point, the planned budget provides the same experience as a fixed budget.

--notifications-with-subscribers
(list)
A notification that you want to associate with a budget. A budget can have up to five notifications, and each notification can have one SNS subscriber and up to 10 email subscribers. If you include notifications and subscribers in your

--cli-input-json
| --cli-input-yaml
(string)
Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton
. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml
.
--generate-cli-skeleton
(string)
Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input
, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json
. Similarly, if provided yaml-input
it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml
. If provided with the value output
, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.
See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.
