## 🚀 Installation

**From PyPI (recommended):**

```bash
pip install devops-aws-costlens
```

**Or with pipx (isolated):**

```bash
pipx install devops-aws-costlens
```

**Verify installation:**

```bash
aws-costlens --version
```

---

## 📖 Quick Start

```bash
# Cost dashboard (default command)
aws-costlens --profiles <profile>

# Resource scan
aws-costlens scan --profiles <profile>

# 6-month cost history
aws-costlens history --profiles <profile>
```

---

## ⏱️ Time Range Options

CostLens supports flexible time range comparisons:

| Option | Description | Example |
|--------|-------------|---------|
| *(default)* | Current month (MTD) vs last full month | `aws-costlens --profiles mfa` |
| `last-month` | Last full month vs prior full month | `aws-costlens --profiles mfa --time-range last-month` |
| `N` (days) | Last N days vs previous N days | `aws-costlens --profiles mfa --time-range 30` |
| `YYYY-MM-DD:YYYY-MM-DD` | Custom date range vs prior same-length window | `aws-costlens --profiles mfa --time-range 2025-12-01:2026-01-01` |

**Examples:**

```bash
# Last 7 days vs previous 7 days (spike detection)
aws-costlens --profiles mfa --time-range 7

# Full December 2025 vs November 2025
aws-costlens --profiles mfa --time-range last-month

# Last 90 days vs previous 90 days
aws-costlens --profiles mfa --time-range 90
```

---

## 🏷️ Tag Filtering

Filter costs by AWS cost allocation tags:

```bash
# Single tag
aws-costlens --profiles mfa --tag Project=CDS

# Multiple tags (AND logic)
aws-costlens --profiles mfa --tag Project=CDS --tag Environment=prod
```

> **Note:** Cost allocation tags must be activated in AWS Billing for tag-based filtering to work.
