Questions tagged with AWS Cost and Usage Report

I am very much confused in terms of how saving plan going to be adjusted between those instances? As an example, if we purchased 4 instances, each instance would cost **$5** per hour and a saving plan would cost **$4**, so we purchased a **compute saving plan** by committing **$13** per hour How this saving plan will be adjusted between those instances? Since 3 instances would consume **$12** how **$1** going to be adjusted? because we have purchased Rs.13 per hour saving plan?lg...

**Issue:** Unable to calculate netamortisedcost from Cost and Usage Report (CUR) data But AWS Cost Explorer still shows it. **Usecase:** we ingest Cost and Usage Reports (CSV files) internally into our BI system for cost management and also do few other things on top of it. We know that there are some columns in CUR which only comes when there is any savings plan or RIs applied for the corresponding aws account(s). If there are no savings plan / RIs applied, then AWS Cost explorer also should not show the netamortised cost calculation. Since it does, we want to understand how we can do the same using the data in cost and usage report. We use below SQL query to generate the netamortised cost. This has been working fine for us for some months. But for some other months this returns 0 netamortisedcost while AWS Cost explorer shows this metric. This query is for netamortisedcost calculation but is ported from wellarchitectedlabs.com for amortised cost calculation. ``` CASE WHEN (lineitemtype = 'SavingsPlanNegation') THEN 0 WHEN (lineitemtype = 'SavingsPlanUpfrontFee') THEN 0 WHEN (lineitemtype = 'SavingsPlanCoveredUsage') THEN NetSavingsPlanEffectiveCost WHEN (lineitemtype = 'SavingsPlanRecurringFee') THEN (TotalCommitmentToDate - UsedCommitment) WHEN (lineitemtype = 'DiscountedUsage') THEN NetEffectiveCost WHEN (lineitemtype = 'RIFee') THEN (NetUnusedAmortizedUpfrontFeeForBillingPeriod + NetUnusedRecurringFee) WHEN ((lineitemtype = 'Fee') AND (ReservationARN <> '')) THEN 0 ELSE NetUnblendedCost END netAmortisedCost ``` How AWS Cost Explorer is showing this cost metric even when there is no SP/RIs applied.lg...

Hi, My company is migrating to AWS from On-perm. I'm doing a POC to see what will be my egress cost when all the accounts move from On-perm to AWS. I have created the existing data model in AWS Redshift and accessing the data through Azure Power BI. I want to see cost while using the import model vs direct query. I have couple of reports in Power BI service pointing to AWS Redshift tables. I couldn't get any decent information from AWS team about how much data is being transferred from AWS to Public internet. I tried cost explorer, Bill sections and didn't find any useful information. I really appreciate if someone can show me where i can get either data transfer or egress information Thanks, Mikylg...

Hi team. How are you doing? Hope fine. I would like to share some situation that I'm exposed and till now i could no find any way to do it property by AWS tools. When we have an environment that i need to chargeback the cost internally to different business unit, its clear. But when we have a huge environment with a ton of different resources (kinesis, S3 bucket, Glue, Redshift, Containers, etc) accessed, used and shared by different tenant, there's a problem. I need to chargeback each tenant for each resourced used by them and each resource have a different way to count/measure and till now i just found the AWS Cost Profiler. This AWS Cost Profiler can only record how many time(in hours/mins) the tenant has been useing the resource, but for example, when we talk about database, we need to measure how many MB/GB/TB this specific tenant store. Have you been thought this any time? Do you use any other tool do to it? Thank you!lg...

Dear, a task was created in Datasync which transferred 8 files within a directory and subdirectories. My query is when reviewing the logs of the Datasync task, I observe that different requests are generated (created, transferred, verified). When executing a new Datasync task where no transfer was made because no new changes were detected, but when reviewing the task log again, I observed that the request was made on the root (verified directory /). My question is, when Datasync does not find a change to make, it makes N requests on the total number of files and directories that are already updated. Example: if I have 15,000 files updated on a bucket, and when executing a task again that does not make changes, will AWS still charge me and count for listing all the files that have already been transferred? I attach images where I only have 22 objects including directories, files and subdirectories, where 43 tasks were executed, of which 40 did not transfer files (only verified directory /), which, checking my cost manager, made about 1840 Requests (Put, Copy ,Post or List Request) to Amazon S3  Enter image description here](/media/postImages/original/IM6a6FqBFvR3y9M2cc_47f3g) Enter image description here](/media/postImages/original/IM5rh_GTLaQaq5fKUyCZolkA)lg...

What is the relevant API to collect costs associated with AWS services in the context of carbon footprints? How do I identify the endpoint? For example: I have services running in my sanbox that I would like to know how much they are costing me and which API and which APIs allow me to retrieve this information? Is it possible to list the APIs that allow me to collect financial and ecological data from AWS? For each API is it possible to describe the information collected? Thanks for your help.lg...

Hello. First of all, this is my first time in this forum and I'm not an expert user. During november 2021 someone hacked my account and the billings rised up from USD$1,5 (I usually payed that) to USD$32.000 in just 1 month. I was forced to block my payment methods. The thing is I talked to a lot of people asking for support and finally (because there was no valid payment method) Amazon had to close my account and deleted almost everything I had in there. I need to restore some specific data, but I don't know if Amazon has something like a "backup of the backup". Is there a last chance to recover what I've lost?? Thanks in advance. Regards!lg...
