New AWS CUR 2.0 features: EC2 ODCR and Capacity Blocks for ML monitoring

AWS announces addition of new columns and granularity in CUR 2.0 that provide customers better visibility into the cost and usage of their capacity reservations, such as EC2 On-Demand Capacity Reservation (ODCR) and EC2 Capacity Blocks for ML. This enables customers to easily calculate the utilization and coverage of their capacity reservations, identify unused capacity reservations for cost optimization, and attribute the cost of capacity reservations to the resource owners.

With this new feature, customers can easily calculate which portion of EC2 instance cost and usage is covered by which capacity reservation, down to hourly resource-level granularity. Customers can also easily calculate the coverage and utilization of each capacity reservation as CUR 2.0 labels capacity reservation-related line items as Reserved, Used, or Unused.

This feature is available in all commercial AWS Regions, except the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions and the China Regions.
