  • Enable Athena and Redshift integration for CUR 2.0

    AWS Cost and Usage Report 2.0 now supports integration with AWS Athena and AWS Redshift. This feature allows users to analyze cost data directly in Amazon S3 using SQL without building custom data warehouses.

Enhancements (2) ›
  • Automatic data formatting and delivery

    When Athena or Redshift integration is selected, CUR 2.0 exports are automatically delivered in the optimal Parquet or GZIP format for the chosen query engine. Supporting metadata and automation resources, like infrastructure templates and table definitions, are included.

  • Automatic data refresh and ETL elimination

    As CUR 2.0 data refreshes periodically, updates are automatically reflected in the Athena or Redshift tables. This eliminates the need for additional ETL processes for customers.

  • Availability and scope

    This feature is available in all commercial AWS Regions, excluding the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions and China Regions. Documentation is available in the AWS Cost Management User Guide.
