You can define policies to check for violation of any condition (according to your organizational policies) on any resource and generate an email-based alert to the required email address. For instance, you can define a policy to generate an alert to define special rates for data transfer for a category of resources or a single resource in one or more environment. So whenever you add one or more resource of the required category, Aquila Clouds generates an email-based alert to define special rates for data transfer for that resource.
