Learners will gain an understanding of the intelligent cost explanations feature in AWS Cost Explorer, powered by Amazon Q Developer. They will learn how to use the 'Analyze with Amazon Q' button to receive detailed explanations of spending patterns, cost drivers, and anomalies directly within Cost Explorer. The course covers how this feature works across historical, current, and forecasted time periods -- helping users investigate cost spikes, prepare for budget reviews, understand forecasts, and discover optimization opportunities without leaving the Cost Explorer interface.
