FOCUS column

SkuPriceDetails

Additional provider-specific detail about the price applied to the SKU, such as the product name, the pricing tier or the plan, as free text or structured detail. It carries what the provider knows about the price that the normalized columns do not have a place for.

Example

An Azure row carries the product name “Virtual Machines Dsv5 Series” alongside the meter and the SKU identifiers.

Where it comes from, per export

The export column that feeds SkuPriceDetails 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.

How Runcost uses it

Runcost keeps the detail on the row for the drill-down and for matching rows to reservations that name the same product.
