FOCUS column
CommitmentDiscountUnit
The unit of CommitmentDiscountQuantity: the resource unit for a usage commitment or the currency for a spend commitment. It lets the quantity be interpreted and summed correctly, since a commitment measured in hours and one measured in dollars cannot be added.
Example
A usage commitment row shows “Hours”; a spend commitment row shows “USD”.
Where it comes from, per export
The export column that feeds CommitmentDiscountUnit 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 | CommitmentDiscountUnit | as is |
| Azure Cost Management, FOCUS export | CommitmentDiscountUnit | as is |
| Azure Cost Details (actual cost) | Not carried | — |
