AWS enhanced its Cost and Usage Report 2.0 by adding integration with Athena and Redshift, allowing customers to analyze cost data stored in Amazon S3 directly using standard SQL tools. CUR 2.0 exports data optimized in Parquet and GZIP format along with metadata and templates for immediate query setup, eliminating manual configuration burdens.
This feature ensures updated cost information is automatically reflected in query engines as data refreshes, streamlining cost analysis and reporting workflows. Availability spans most commercial AWS Regions except AWS GovCloud and China Regions, matching prior CUR integration capabilities for improved operational insight.
