Today, we are adding new pricing- and reservation-related data to the AWS Cost & Usage Report. In addition to your actual rate for your usage, you will now see the public on-demand rate for that same usage, giving you the ability to easily quantify your savings relative to public on-demand pricing. Additionally, the Cost & Usage Report now contains detailed reservation line items so that you can clearly quantify the costs associated with your reserved resources. These line items include information such as the number of Reserved Instances (“RIs”) purchased under a given subscription, the number of hours reserved under each RI within that subscription, and the total number of reserved hours across all RIs within that subscription.
