via Ben Schaechter: “a new microsite we’ve launched for the AWS community that helps with understanding billing codes present in either Cost Explorer or the CUR. We profiled the number of distinct billing codes across our customer base and have about ~60k unique billing codes. We hear all the time that FinOps practitioners and engineers are confused about the billing codes present in Cost Explorer or the Cost and Usage Report. Think of these as being things like “Requests-Tier1” for S3 or “CW:GMWI-Metrics” for CloudWatch. There is usually really limited resources for determining what these billing codes are even when you Google around for them.”
