FOCUS column
CapacityReservationStatus
Whether the charge represents reserved capacity that was used by a running resource or capacity that was reserved and left idle. It exists because idle reserved capacity is a real cost with no consuming resource, and it would otherwise be invisible in a resource-based view.
Example
Two rows for the same reservation show “Used” for the hours a resource ran in it and “Unused” for the hours nothing did.
Where it comes from, per export
The export column that feeds CapacityReservationStatus in each format the platform ingests, and the transform applied. A format with no row does not carry the column; the value is then absent rather than guessed.
| Export | Source column | Transform |
|---|---|---|
| AWS Data Exports, FOCUS | CapacityReservationStatus | as is |
| Azure Cost Management, FOCUS export | CapacityReservationStatus | as is |
| Azure Cost Details (actual cost) | Not carried | — |
| Azure Cost Details (amortized cost) | Not carried | — |
| Google Cloud detailed billing export | Not carried | — |
How Runcost uses it
Runcost flags unused reserved capacity as an anomaly class of its own, routed to the team that made the reservation.
