AWS Cost and Usage Report (CUR)

The most comprehensive AWS billing dataset, delivered to S3 with line-item detail of usage, pricing and resource IDs.

Definition

CUR provides hourly or daily line items including tags, resource IDs, discounts and amortized commitments. It is now delivered through AWS Data Exports as CUR 2.0, which also supports exports in the FinOps FOCUS format, and is queried with Athena, Redshift or BI tools.

Example

A FinOps team queries CUR 2.0 data with Athena to calculate cost per customer using resource tags.

Exam tip

For the most granular cost data or custom chargeback analysis, the answer is CUR (Data Exports).
