Storage Visibility Summary

Purpose: This section is designed to give you a high level overview of what you are spending on EBS storage volumes as well as snapshots

Aggregate Costs Parameters:

  • Payer Account ID: This is the sum of your daily costs for EBS rolled up at the Master Payer Account level.
  • Storage Media: This is the sum of your daily costs for EBS rolled up by storage type such as SSD-backed.
  • Region: This is the sum of your daily costs for EBS rolled up per Region such as us-east-2, us-west-2, etc.

Usage Parameters:

  • Volume Storage: Sum of GB being used per Region.
  • IOPS: Sum of the volume Read/Write operations per Region.
  • Throughput: Sum of volume throughput per Region.
  • Read/Write: Sum of volume Read/Write bytes per Region.
  • Snapshot Storage: Sum of Snapshot GB's being used per Region.

Storage Visibility table summary


Table Columns:
