Frequently Asked Questions
What CloudFormation usage does AWS bill separately?
AWS CloudFormation separately bills third-party resource provider handler operations and custom hook handler operations. Standard AWS::* and Alexa::* resources are not charged by CloudFormation itself.
How does handler duration overage work?
The first 30 seconds per handler operation are included. You are charged only for the total seconds above that threshold across your monthly third-party resource provider and custom hook operations.
