cost-comparison | Retrieves AWS cost comparisons between two one-month periods. Do not use this tool except for comparing the costs of one month to the costs of another month. This tool should not be used for week-over-week or quarter-over-quarter (e.g., comparing Q2 vs. Q1) analysis. USE THIS TOOL ONLY FOR: - **Month-to-month cost variance analysis** (e.g., January vs February) - **Root cause analysis** of cost changes between specific months - **Detailed cost driver identification** (what exactly caused the cost change) - **Service-level impact analysis** for month-over-month changes - **Executive reporting** on monthly cost variances STRICT LIMITATIONS: - ONLY compares exactly one month to another month - Both periods must start on 1st day of month, end on 1st day of next month - Cannot compare weeks, quarters, or custom periods - DO NOT USE for general cost analysis or flexible time periods This tool supports two main operations: 1. getCostAndUsageComparisons: Compare costs between two time periods with flexible grouping and filtering 2. getCostComparisonDrivers: Identify key factors driving cost changes between two time periods Both operations require: - BaselineTimePeriod: Earlier time period for comparison (must be exactly one month) - ComparisonTimePeriod: Later time period for comparison (must be exactly one month) - MetricForComparison: The cost metric to compare (e.g., BlendedCost, UnblendedCost) Supported metrics for comparison include: - AmortizedCost: Costs with upfront and recurring reservation fees spread across the period - BlendedCost: Average cost of all usage throughout the billing period - NetAmortizedCost: Amortized cost after discounts - NetUnblendedCost: Unblended cost after discounts - NormalizedUsageAmount: Normalized usage amount - UnblendedCost: Actual costs incurred during the specified period - UsageQuantity: Usage amounts in their respective units You can group results by dimensions such as: - SERVICE: AWS service (e.g., Amazon EC2, Amazon S3) - LINKED_ACCOUNT: Member accounts in an organization - REGION: AWS Region - USAGE_TYPE: Type of usage (e.g., BoxUsage:t2.micro) - INSTANCE_TYPE: EC2 instance type (e.g., t2.micro, m5.large) - PLATFORM: Operating system (e.g., Windows, Linux) - TENANCY: Instance tenancy (e.g., shared, dedicated) - RECORD_TYPE: Record type (e.g., Usage, Credit, Tax) - LEGAL_ENTITY_NAME: AWS seller of record Note: - Time periods must start and end on the first day of a month, with a duration of exactly one month - The getCostComparisonDrivers operation automatically includes SERVICE and USAGE_TYPE dimensions - Data is available for the last 13 months, or up to 38 months if multi-year data is enabled |
