AWS

The logic of calculating the total_cost_amortized in Umbrella Cost DB is the following:

Amortized cost in CUE & Assets Pages

In case charge_type is one of ( Reservation_applied_usage, RIFee, Upfront reservation fee, SavingsPlanCoveredUsage, SavingsPlanNegation, SavingsPlanRecurringFee, SavingsPlanUpfrontFee )

Present total_cost_amortized.

Otherwise

Present total_cost (unblended)

AWS Marketplace Amortization

AWS Marketplace Amortization will be managed at the account level, with a new setting available on the Accounts page. This feature ensures that marketplace purchases are appropriately amortized over time, improving cost allocation accuracy.

The amortization will be applicable in Amortize and Net Amortize cost.

Amortization Logic

Marketplace charges will be amortized hourly. This approach prevents issues where mid-month purchases are not reflected at the beginning of the month.

The default setting will be disabled, meaning no amortization will be applied unless explicitly enabled.

Configuration

Umbrella support team can enable on demand the Marketplace Amortization per account.

When enabled, amortization will distribute costs evenly across all applicable hours within the billing period.

Historical Month Handling

Customer Support (CS) will handle historical amortization on demand.

Users requiring amortization for past months must contact support.

Azure

Azure provides the billing files in two modes:
Previous - there are two different billing files. One contains unblended cost information and the other file contains amortized cost information. These files are processed separately and each provides the specific cost type.

FOCUS - Using the FOCUS format, the unblended and amortized cost information is provided in separate columns, and our platform processes both values provided in the file.

GCP

GCP does not provide amortized cost in the billing. Only unblended cost is included in the billing files.
