Azure has, built in, hard price/cost limits but doesn't allow the public to use them. For example if you have MSDN subscription credit you get a hard limit of up to $150/month, but you yourself cannot pick a bespoke limit to use the service more safely.
Kind of makes me annoyed. I'm sure enterprises don't care/want unlimited. But solo practitioners, and people new to the platform would love a default e.g. $5K/month limit (or less).
Feels like these services just want people to "gotcha" into spending a bunch of money without simple safety nets.
PS - No, alerts do not accomplish the same thing, by the time you get the alert you could have spent tens of thousands.
