Today, AWS announces the general availability of ListBillingViews API in the AWS SDKs, to enable AWS Billing Conductor (ABC) users to create pro forma Cost and Usage Reports (CUR) programmatically.
Today, CUR PutReportDefinition API requires a BillingViewArn – the Amazon resource name for a billing view, to populate the CUR with proforma data. Prior to this launch customers had to manually construct the BillingView Arn by retrieving Payer account and Primary account IDs and adding the metadata to the string arn:aws:billing::payer-account-id:billingview/billing-group-primary-account-id. ABC users can now eliminate these manual steps to retrieve the BillingViewArn, and automate the end-to-end CUR file configuration journey, based on each pro forma billing view available. As a result, ListBillingView API enables ABC users to simplify ABC onboarding and accelerate the ability to set up their rebilling operations.
ListBillingViews API is available in all commercial AWS Regions, excluding the Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet and Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD.
