Starting today, AWS Billing Conductor (ABC) customers can view pro forma data in Reservation and Saving Plan coverage and utilization reports. This release allows ABC customers to analyze Reservation and Saving Plans utilization and coverage metrics scoped at the billing group level and reflecting the pro forma pricing rules. AWS Partners can use the feature to enable their customers to view commitment discount application on cost data that reflect the customer’s specific pricing agreement.
For billing groups that contain accounts with Reservations or Saving Plan commitments, the billing group primary account can view pro forma coverage and utilization data for all accounts in the billing group. Non-primary accounts in an ABC billing group can view pro forma coverage and utilization for their own account. Organizations should use non-pro forma cost data to drive cost optimization initiatives.
Pro forma Reservation and Saving Plans coverage and utilization reports are 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.
