Announcing cost allocation using users’ attributes

New Cost Allocation Feature

AWS introduces a new cost allocation feature that leverages existing workforce user attributes to track and analyze AWS application usage and cost. This feature allows customers to allocate per-user monthly subscription and on-demand fees of AWS applications, such as Amazon Q Business, Amazon Q Developer, and Amazon QuickSight, to respective internal business units.

What to do

• Import workforce users’ attributes to IAM Identity Center.
• Enable one or more attributes as cost allocation tags in the AWS Billing and Cost Management console.
• View and analyze costs in AWS Cost Explorer and AWS CUR 2.0.

Availability

This feature is generally available in all AWS Regions, excluding GovCloud (US) Regions and China (Beijing) and China (Ningxia) Regions.
