BOYD

Turn your AWS Cost and Usage Report dataset into an archaeological dig site. Collect, classify, analyze, explore, and take control of your cost incurring resources.

AWS Cost and Usage Reports (CUR) are massive and complex datasets buried behind the fog of cloud services and APIs. BOYD is a learning tool to help bridge the technical gap between users and their data. BOYD helps you identify and carve out the data that matters to your use case, dramatically reducing the size of the dataset while capable of processing millions of rows of data.

Requirements:

• AWS command line access to your Cost and Usage Report (CUR) S3 bucket;

• Supports AWS CUR 1.0, 2.0 and FOCUS Data Exports;

• AWS CUR Data Export configured in billing account with the following options:

  • Include resource IDs enabled

  • Data export delivery options: Parquet format;

  • Report Versioning: Overwrite existing data export file;

  • Daily reporting is recommended; hourly reporting is supported but may result in much larger datasets and reduced performance.

• Recommended less than 1GB/month total CUR parquet size but mileage will vary depending on the schema columns collected, your AWS architecture, and your cpu architecture.

• Mac supported (Windows support coming soon)
