Cherry-pick of PR #14801 to 7.x branch. Original message:
AWS stores estimate billing charges in Cloudwatch us-east-1 region for users to see estimate charges for total, or by each service. The values are estimates, not predictions. The estimate approximates the cost of AWS usage to date within the current billing cycle and will increase as users continue to consume resources.
This will be a good use case for alerting so users get alerted when AWS charges are higher than expected
One overview dashboard is built for this metricset:

How to test this

This takes a while because estimated billing data are sent to Cloudwatch every several hours.
closes #14934
