FOCUS column
RegionName
The human-readable name of the region, as the provider labels it in its console, paired with RegionId. It exists so a report can say “Europe (London)” rather than a code, while grouping stays on the id.
Example
The row with RegionId “eu-west-2” carries RegionName “Europe (London)”.
Where it comes from, per export
The export column that feeds RegionName 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 | RegionName | as is |
| Azure Cost Management, FOCUS export | RegionName | as is |
| Azure Cost Details (actual cost) | MeterRegion | as is |
| Azure Cost Details (amortized cost) | MeterRegion | as is |
| Google Cloud detailed billing export | location.location | as is |
How Runcost uses it
Runcost shows region names on statements and keeps the id for grouping and for the data-residency view.
