Need API to manage expiring reservation alerts on CostExplorer.Client

[cielszx]

Describe the feature

We want to create expiration alerts for RI with boto3.

We can access Manage alert subsriptions on cost management console, but I cannot find any functions in boto3.

So, we want a function to manage alert for RI expiration.

Thank you.

Use Case

We use boto3 to purchase reserved instance and want a alert for RI expiration.
But we only find purchase API for RI but not the alert management for RI.

Hi @cielszx thanks for reaching out. This would be a feature request for the Cost Explorer team, as they own the underlying APIs which correspond to boto3 commands and are used across SDKs. I created an issue for this here in our cross-SDK repository and reached out to that team: aws/aws-sdk#537. Please refer to that issue for updates going forward.

The steps for managing reservation alerts are documented here in the Cost Explorer User Guide, but only appears possible to do through the Console as you mentioned. I did find this project which you could explore using in the meantime.
