AWS introduced a User Agent string feature within Partner Revenue Measurement that lets partners insert a unique code from their AWS Marketplace product listings into API and SDK calls. This enables detailed measurement of AWS service consumption attributable to individual partner solutions, improving insight into revenue impacts and usage patterns.

The capability supports multiple programming environments including Python, Node.js, Java, and Kotlin and allows configuration via environment variables or AWS SDK shared files to automate attribution across managed and customer accounts. It complements existing resource tagging and marketplace metering methods and is generally available in all commercial regions as per AWS documentation.
