FOCUS column
CommitmentDiscountId
The identifier of the commitment discount that applied to the charge: a reservation, a savings plan or a committed-use discount. It links every discounted usage row, and every purchase or unused-commitment row, back to the commitment that caused it, which is what makes commitment allocation and utilization reporting possible.
Example
The hourly rows a savings plan covered and the row for its unused portion all carry the same plan identifier here.
Where it comes from, per export
The export column that feeds CommitmentDiscountId 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 | CommitmentDiscountId | as is |
| Azure Cost Management, FOCUS export | CommitmentDiscountId | as is |
| Azure Cost Details (actual cost) | benefitIdReservationId | as is as is |
| Azure Cost Details (amortized cost) | benefitIdReservationId | as is as is |
| Google Cloud detailed billing export | Not carried | — |
How Runcost uses it
Runcost allocates the discounted rate to the consumers whose usage a commitment covered and carries the unused remainder centrally, keyed on this id.
