AWS Getting an accurate picture of your entire AWS bill requires looking at your costs from multiple perspectives. Examining dimensions like AWS Services, Reservations, and Storage usage individually often gives you new insights you wouldn’t otherwise have viewing them together as a whole. In this article, we’re going to show you how to filter out Reservations from your AWS Services Costs analysis. We want to do this because Reserved Instances have a unique pricing model in comparison to On-Demand instances.

Filtering & Other Options All filtering and grouping for your report can be done by opening the CONFIGURE modal from the navigation panel. Filtering Options Services (EC2, Lambda, ELB) Attributes (AZ, Instance Type, Entity Name) Tags (Owner, Project, Application) Grouping Options Group By (Period, Attribute, Service) Show costs as (Blended, Unblended, Amortized) Limit (From One to All) Sort By (Service, Total Cost, Delta) Sort Order (Ascending or Descending) Matching Conditions The following conditions can be set to display data that is greater or less than the input value (either as a dollar amount or percentage).

You already have a tagging strategy in place and you’ve mastered exploring your costs by services, attributes, and tags. So what’s next? Another great way to discover savings opportunities (or simply gain more context for your bill) is to examine what hasn’t been given a particular value for a tag. The easiest way to find resources that are missing tags is to use the Bill Analysis tool. Prerequisites This guide assumes you have already created User-Defined Cost Allocation Tags from your AWS Console.
