2021/08/17 - AWS Cost Explorer Service - 3 updated api methods
Changes This release is a new feature for Cost Categories: Split charge rules. Split charge rules enable you to allocate shared costs between your cost category values.
{'SplitChargeRules': [{'Method': 'FIXED | PROPORTIONAL | EVEN',
'Parameters': [{'Type': 'ALLOCATION_PERCENTAGES',
'Values': ['string']}],
'Source': 'string',
'Targets': ['string']}]}
Creates a new Cost Category with the requested name and rules.

string
[REQUIRED]

list
[REQUIRED]
The Cost Category rules used to categorize costs. For more information, see CostCategoryRule.
(dict) --
Rules are processed in order. If there are multiple rules that match the line item, then the first rule to match is used to determine that Cost Category value.
Value (string) --
The default value for the cost category.
Rule (dict) --
An Expression object used to categorize costs. This supports dimensions, tags, and nested expressions. Currently the only dimensions supported are LINKED_ACCOUNT, SERVICE_CODE, RECORD_TYPE, and LINKED_ACCOUNT_NAME.
Root level OR isn't supported. We recommend that you create a separate rule instead.
RECORD_TYPE is a dimension used for Cost Explorer APIs, and is also supported for Cost Category expressions. This dimension uses different terms, depending on whether you're using the console or API/JSON editor. For a detailed comparison, see Term Comparisons in the Billing and Cost Management User Guide.
Or (list) --
Return results that match either Dimension object.
(dict) --
Use Expression to filter by cost or by usage. There are two patterns:
Simple dimension values - You can set the dimension name and values for the filters that you plan to use. For example, you can filter for REGION==us-east-1 OR REGION==us-west-1. For GetRightsizingRecommendation, the Region is a full name (for example, REGION==US East (N. Virginia). The Expression example is as follows: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", “us-west-1” ] } } The list of dimension values are OR'd together to retrieve cost or usage data. You can create Expression and DimensionValues objects using either with* methods or set* methods in multiple lines.
Compound dimension values with logical operations - You can use multiple Expression types and the logical operators AND/OR/NOT to create a list of one or more Expression objects. By doing this, you can filter on more advanced options. For example, you can filter on ((REGION == us-east-1 OR REGION == us-west-1) OR (TAG.Type == Type1)) AND (USAGE_TYPE != DataTransfer). The Expression for that is as follows: { "And": [ {"Or": [ {"Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", "us-west-1" ] }}, {"Tags": { "Key": "TagName", "Values": ["Value1"] } } ]}, {"Not": {"Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": ["DataTransfer"] }}} ] }
And (list) --
Return results that match both Dimension objects.

Not (dict) --
Return results that don't match a Dimension object.
Dimensions (dict) --
The specific Dimension to use for Expression.
Key (string) --
The names of the metadata types that you can use to filter and group your results. For example, AZ returns a list of Availability Zones.
Values (list) --
The metadata values that you can use to filter and group your results. You can use GetDimensionValues to find specific values.
(string) --
MatchOptions (list) --
The match options that you can use to filter your results. MatchOptions is only applicable for actions related to Cost Category. The default values for MatchOptions are EQUALS and CASE_SENSITIVE.
(string) --
Tags (dict) --
The specific Tag to use for Expression.
Key (string) --
The key for the tag.
Values (list) --
The specific value of the tag.

Key (string) --
The unique name of the Cost Category.

(string) --
InheritedValue (dict) --
The value the line item is categorized as if the line item contains the matched dimension.
DimensionName (string) --
The name of the dimension that's used to group costs.
If you specify LINKED_ACCOUNT_NAME, the cost category value is based on account name. If you specify TAG, the cost category value will be based on the value of the specified tag key.
DimensionKey (string) --
The key to extract cost category values.
Type (string) --
You can define the CostCategoryRule rule type as either REGULAR or INHERITED_VALUE. The INHERITED_VALUE rule type adds the flexibility of defining a rule that dynamically inherits the cost category value from the dimension value defined by CostCategoryInheritedValueDimension. For example, if you want to dynamically group costs based on the value of a specific tag key, first choose an inherited value rule type, then choose the tag dimension and specify the tag key to use.
string
The default value for the cost category.
list
The split charge rules used to allocate your charges between your Cost Category values.
(dict) --
Use the split charge rule to split the cost of one Cost Category value across several other target values.
Source (string) -- [REQUIRED]
The Cost Category value that you want to split. That value can't be used as a source or a target in other split charge rules. To indicate uncategorized costs, you can use an empty string as the source.
Targets (list) -- [REQUIRED]
The Cost Category values that you want to split costs across. These values can't be used as a source in other split charge rules.
(string) --
Method (string) -- [REQUIRED]

Proportional - Allocates charges across your targets based on the proportional weighted cost of each target.
Fixed - Allocates charges across your targets based on your defined allocation percentage.

Returns the name, ARN, rules, definition, and effective dates of a Cost Category that's defined in the account.
You have the option to use EffectiveOn to return a Cost Category that is active on a specific date. If there is no EffectiveOn specified, you’ll see a Cost Category that is effective on the current date. If Cost Category is still effective, EffectiveEnd is omitted in the response.

The match options that you can use to filter your results. MatchOptions is only applicable for actions related to cost category. The default values for MatchOptions is EQUALS and CASE_SENSITIVE.
(string) --
InheritedValue (dict) --
The value the line item is categorized as if the line item contains the matched dimension.
DimensionName (string) --
The name of the dimension that's used to group costs.
If you specify LINKED_ACCOUNT_NAME, the cost category value is based on account name. If you specify TAG, the cost category value will be based on the value of the specified tag key.
DimensionKey (string) --
The key to extract cost category values.
Type (string) --
You can define the CostCategoryRule rule type as either REGULAR or INHERITED_VALUE. The INHERITED_VALUE rule type adds the flexibility of defining a rule that dynamically inherits the cost category value from the dimension value defined by CostCategoryInheritedValueDimension. For example, if you want to dynamically group costs based on the value of a specific tag key, first choose an inherited value rule type, then choose the tag dimension and specify the tag key to use.
string
The default value for the cost category.
list
The split charge rules used to allocate your charges between your Cost Category values.
(dict) --
Use the split charge rule to split the cost of one Cost Category value across several other target values.
Source (string) -- [REQUIRED]
The Cost Category value that you want to split. That value can't be used as a source or a target in other split charge rules. To indicate uncategorized costs, you can use an empty string as the source.
Targets (list) -- [REQUIRED]
The Cost Category values that you want to split costs across. These values can't be used as a source in other split charge rules.
(string) --
Method (string) -- [REQUIRED]
The method that's used to define how to split your source costs across your targets.
Proportional - Allocates charges across your targets based on the proportional weighted cost of each target.
Fixed - Allocates charges across your targets based on your defined allocation percentage.
> Even - Allocates costs evenly across all targets.
Parameters (list) --
The parameters for a split charge method. This is only required for the FIXED method.
(dict) --
The parameters for a split charge method.
Type (string) -- [REQUIRED]
The parameter type.
Values (list) -- [REQUIRED]
The parameter values.
