Hi @patrickywl, I've left a ton of feedback but it's mostly around formatting. Thanks so much for this PR! Aside from my suggestions, some general notes:
- lots of terms such as member account should be in lowercase unless they are product/feature names
- I think all the content under line 139 (Configure the Cost and Usage Report settings in Datadog) can be consolidated into one step. for ex:
-
- the last image doesn't show the "Activate now button" (but the previous one does), so not sure what we're trying to show there. i would remove it.
happy to work with you on this further!
