🆕 AWS Billing and Cost Management introduces ListBillingViewSegments API to provide billing context over specified periods, detailing account hierarchy and billing settings, available in all commercial regions at no extra cost.

#AWS #AwsAccountBilling #CloudFinancialManagement
AWS Billing and Cost Management now provides billing context for your account through a new API
AWS Billing and Cost Management now offers the ListBillingViewSegments API, which returns the billing context of your account over a time period you specify. You can use the API to retrieve information about how your accounts are positioned in the billing hierarchy, such as management accounts, member accounts, or billing group primary accounts. You can also identify which accounts managed your billing relationship and the rate settings, either billable or pro forma, applied to your cost data. The API returns billing context only, not cost and usage data. You can call the API directly or through an AI agent. Your billing context can change mid-period. The API therefore divides the requested period into time segments, each with its effective date range. For example, an account starts as its own payer, then moves under another organization as a member account, and in a later month has its new payer manage its billing through AWS Billing Conductor. A request covering all three periods returns three segments, each identifying the accounts and billing settings that were in effect. ListBillingViewSegments is available in all commercial AWS Regions at no additional charge and supports primary billing views. To get started, visit the AWS Billing API Reference.

Billing Transfer now supports automatic billing group creation for two-level transfers
AWS Billing Transfer users can now enable the Auto-Billing Transfer Billing Group Creation, a new AWS Billing Conductor preference that eliminates the manual billing group configuration in two-level billing transfer arrangements. Designed for AWS Distributors managing billing for downstream seller Partners and their end customers, this feature automatically creates billing groups when an end customer accepts a billing transfer from a downstream seller Partner, ensuring pro forma cost data is immediately available to the Partner, with no extra manual configuration. Auto-Billing Transfer Billing Group Creation is a one-time preference configuration per inbound transfer relationship, enabling you to request the creation of a billing group for any new indirect transfer coming through your Partners' account, as well as being able to specify an AWS Billing Conductor pricing plan for the billing groups created automatically.  The preference is accessible through two new API operations and through the AWS Management Console in the Billing Transfer details page.  To learn more about Auto-Billing Transfer Billing Group Creation and how to configure your billing transfer preferences, visit the AWS Billing Conductor documentation.

🆕 AWS Billing now has a Detected Anomalies widget for cost monitoring, showing anomalies' impact and root cause, with no extra charge in all commercial regions.

#AWS #AwsManagementConsole #CloudFinancialManagement
Monitor cost anomalies directly in Billing and Cost Management Dashboards with the new Detected Anomalies widget
Today, AWS Billing and Cost Management (BCM) announces support for the Detected Anomalies widget in BCM Dashboards. You can now review cost anomalies alongside cost and usage, budgets, cost efficiency, and reports for Savings Plans and Reserved Instance coverage and utilization. This provides a unified view of your spending, commitments, and cost anomalies in a single, tailored dashboard. The Detected Anomalies widget displays the number of anomalies detected and their total cost impact relative to your month-to-date spend, giving you immediate context on each anomaly's scale. For each anomaly, you can review the cost impact, root cause, and duration. Choose a look-back period of 30, 60, or 90 days, and filter by severity, service, account, and region so that each dashboard shows the anomalies most relevant to that account. By adding one or more Detected Anomalies widget to a BCM Dashboard, finance teams and cloud administrators can monitor anomalies from their existing cost management workflows. The widget links directly to the AWS Cost Anomaly Detection console so you can easily investigate an anomaly and record your assessment. It is fully integrated with dashboard exports and can be included in scheduled email reports or downloaded as a CSV or PDF for offline analysis. It is also included with cross-account dashboard sharing. The Detected Anomalies widget for BCM Dashboards is available in all commercial AWS Regions at no additional charge.

🆕 AWS Cost Anomaly Detection now monitors third-party models on Amazon Bedrock, alerting on unusual spend with no setup. Available in all commercial regions except AWS GovCloud and China, it provides alerts and root-cause breakdowns for generative AI cost changes.

#AWS #CloudFinancialManagement
AWS Cost Anomaly Detection supports third-party models on Amazon Bedrock
AWS Cost Anomaly Detection now monitors spend on third-party foundation models running on Amazon Bedrock, such as Anthropic Claude and other provider-hosted models. Cost Anomaly Detection uses machine learning to detect and alert on unusual spend, and this launch extends that coverage to third-party model usage on Amazon Bedrock. Teams running production generative AI workloads now get automatic anomaly detection on their Amazon Bedrock model spend alongside the rest of their AWS costs. With this launch, Cost Anomaly Detection automatically evaluates your third-party Amazon Bedrock model costs through your AWS managed service monitor, with no setup required. When spend on a model changes unexpectedly, you receive an alert and a root-cause breakdown ranked by dollar impact across AWS service, account, Region, and usage type, so you can understand and act on generative AI cost changes as quickly as you do for any other AWS spend. This feature is available in all AWS commercial regions, except the AWS GovCloud and the China Regions.

Starting today, AWS Billing Conductor customers gain greater flexibility when using custom line items. Customers can now create service-specific custom line items scoped at either one AWS service or to a set of selected AWS service and can choose how these line items are presented in the pro forma billing artifacts, such as Bills Page, Cost Explorer and Cost and Usage Records. These enhancements enable customers to create more precise and tailored charge-back and re-billing strategies that better reflect their pricing structures and improve the traceability experience for pro forma users. Customers can use this functionality to apply percentage discounts on Saving Plans fees or allocate shared flat support charges under AWS Support service. Service specific custom line items are available for standard billing group regardless of the type of pricing plan selected, and for billing-transfer billing groups exclusively when customer-managed pricing plans are selected. To start, use AWS Billing Conductor console or APIs, create a custom line item and specify the cost reference value (one or multiple AWS services) and the display setting options (itemized or consolidated under your service of choice). To learn more about custom line items visit https://docs.aws.amazon.com/billingconductor/latest/userguide/what-is-billingconductor.html. This feature is available now in all AWS commercial Regions, excluding AWS China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet, and AWS China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD.
