Data source

To provide an accurate view of costs across your entire AWS organization, CloudSpend programmatically retrieves the AWS Cost and Usage Report. The report provides estimated charges for your AWS account as CSV files—line items for each unique combination of product, usage type and operation—and delivers it to an Amazon S3 bucket of your choice. This data is extracted by CloudSpend and made available to users as charts and tabular data for analyses.
