AWS EBS Actual Cost in Rightsizing Recommendations – Public Beta

We are continuing to add incremental support for Actual Cost in Rightsizing recommendations, and are excited to introduce this capability for AWS Elastic Block Store (EBS) today as a public beta. This adds to the existing capability for AWS EC2, which is generally available. By making “Actual cost” accessible as a cost type, users can view rightsizing recommendations based on the following two pricing methods: 

• List price - View recommendations based on the listed on-demand price for the service/instance. 

• Actual Cost - View recommendations based on the actual usage cost. The recommendations consider the discounts or pricing impacts on the source instance that result from commitment discounts. Any discounts for current instances will be considered within the recommendation.
