Say Goodbye to Bedrock Cost-Analysis Headaches With Standardized Metadata!

AWS What's New ★★ View Markdown

Hey there, it's Shiichan! I found a quiet but useful piece of news today, and I think FinOps folks will love it.

AWS What's New aws.amazon.com

What was announced?

AWS's What's New announced that AWS Data Exports (Cost and Usage Report) now includes standardized product metadata for Amazon Bedrock. It gives FinOps teams and cloud administrators consistent, structured attributes for understanding Bedrock costs.

The story so far

AWS Data Exports lets you create customized exports of cost and usage data, deliver them to Amazon S3, and query them with Amazon Athena or load them into your data warehouse. Until now, though, attributing Bedrock spend meant writing your own logic to parse the various product metadata buried in CUR 2.0 — a bit of a chore.

What changes

Thanks to the new standardized attributes, you can break down Bedrock spend without building that custom logic. Here's what's included:

  • Model provider
  • Model name
  • Pricing unit
  • Inference type (such as input or output tokens)
  • Feature (the inference serving mode, like On-Demand or Batch)
  • A unified "Amazon Bedrock" product family name that consolidates all Bedrock costs

In CUR 2.0, model provider, model name, inference type, and feature show up in the product map column, while pricing unit is available as its own column.

Dive Deep

These standardized fields are available by default, at no additional cost, to any Amazon Bedrock customer using AWS Data Exports. There's nothing new to sign up for or enable — you can just start querying.

Wrap-up

  • AWS's What's New: AWS Data Exports now offers standardized product metadata for Amazon Bedrock
  • Provides model provider, model name, pricing unit, inference type, feature, and a unified product family name
  • Available in CUR 2.0 as the product map column plus a pricing-unit column
  • Available by default at no extra cost to Bedrock customers using Data Exports

If you're a FinOps person who wants to visualize and allocate Bedrock costs across your org in Athena or a BI tool, this update is for you!
