Table: aws_cost_usage

Amazon Cost Explorer helps you visualize, understand, and manage your AWS costs and usage. The aws_cost_usage table provides a simplified yet flexible view of cost for your account (or all linked accounts when run against the organization master). You must specify a granularity (MONTHLY, DAILY), and 2 dimension types (AZ , INSTANCE_TYPE, LEGAL_ENTITY_NAME, LINKED_ACCOUNT, OPERATION, PLATFORM, PURCHASE_TYPE, SERVICE, TAGS, TENANCY, RECORD_TYPE, and USAGE_TYPE)

This tables requires an '=' qualifier for all of the following columns: granularity,dimension_type_1,dimension_type_2

Note that pricing for the Cost Explorer API is per API request - Each request will incur a cost of $0.01.

AWS Cost Explorer - Cost and Usage

Name	Type	Description
account_id	text	The AWS Account ID in which the resource is located.
amortized_cost_amount	double precision	This cost metric reflects the effective cost of the upfront and monthly reservation fees spread across the billing period. By default, Cost Explorer shows the fees for Reserved Instances as a spike on the day that you're charged, but if you choose to show costs as amortized costs, the costs are amortized over the billing period. This means that the costs are broken out into the effective daily rate. AWS estimates your amortized costs by combining your unblended costs with the amortized portion of your upfront and recurring reservation fees.
amortized_cost_unit	text	Unit type for amortized costs.
blended_cost_amount	double precision	This cost metric reflects the average cost of usage across the consolidated billing family. If you use the consolidated billing feature in AWS Organizations, you can view costs using blended rates.
blended_cost_unit	text	Unit type for blended costs.
dimension_1	text	Valid values are AZ, INSTANCE_TYPE, LINKED_ACCOUNT, OPERATION, PURCHASE_TYPE, SERVICE, USAGE_TYPE, PLATFORM, TENANCY, RECORD_TYPE, LEGAL_ENTITY_NAME, DEPLOYMENT_OPTION, DATABASE_ENGINE, CACHE_ENGINE, INSTANCE_TYPE_FAMILY, REGION, BILLING_ENTITY, RESERVATION_ID, SAVINGS_PLANS_TYPE, SAVINGS_PLAN_ARN, OPERATING_SYSTEM
dimension_2	text	Valid values are AZ, INSTANCE_TYPE, LINKED_ACCOUNT, OPERATION, PURCHASE_TYPE, SERVICE, USAGE_TYPE, PLATFORM, TENANCY, RECORD_TYPE, LEGAL_ENTITY_NAME, DEPLOYMENT_OPTION, DATABASE_ENGINE, CACHE_ENGINE, INSTANCE_TYPE_FAMILY, REGION, BILLING_ENTITY, RESERVATION_ID, SAVINGS_PLANS_TYPE, SAVINGS_PLAN_ARN, OPERATING_SYSTEM
dimension_type_1	text
dimension_type_2	text
estimated	boolean	Whether the result is estimated.
granularity	text
net_amortized_cost_amount	double precision	This cost metric amortizes the upfront and monthly reservation fees while including discounts such as RI volume discounts.
net_amortized_cost_unit	text	Unit type for net amortized costs.
net_unblended_cost_amount	double precision	This cost metric reflects the unblended cost after discounts.
net_unblended_cost_unit	text	Unit type for net unblended costs.
normalized_usage_amount	double precision	The amount of usage that you incurred, in normalized units, for size-flexible RIs. The NormalizedUsageAmount is equal to UsageAmount multiplied by NormalizationFactor.
normalized_usage_unit	text	Unit type for normalized usage.
partition	text	The AWS partition in which the resource is located (aws, aws-cn, or aws-us-gov).
period_end	timestamp without time zone	End timestamp for this cost metric.
period_start	timestamp without time zone	Start timestamp for this cost metric.
region	text	The AWS Region in which the resource is located.
search_end_time	timestamp without time zone
search_start_time	timestamp without time zone
unblended_cost_amount	double precision	Unblended costs represent your usage costs on the day they are charged to you. In finance terms, they represent your costs on a cash basis of accounting.
unblended_cost_unit	text	Unit type for unblended costs.
usage_quantity_amount	double precision	The amount of usage that you incurred. NOTE: If you return the UsageQuantity metric, the service aggregates all usage numbers without taking into account the units. For example, if you aggregate usageQuantity across all of Amazon EC2, the results aren't meaningful because Amazon EC2 compute hours and data transfer are measured in different units (for example, hours vs. GB).
usage_quantity_unit	text	Unit type for usage quantity.
