AWS Detailed Billing CSV Parser & Reporting Tool

Setup

See the AWS docs for how to set up programmatic access to your billing.

Once this is done, a CSV file will be written (and updated) to the bucket you gave on the form.

To use tag-based costs breakdown you need to give a tag like e.g. "BILLING" with a relevant value to your EC2 instances, S3 buckets, ELBs etc.

Otherwise the script will just break down your costs per service and service type (e.g. ec2 BoxUsage vs ec2 EBS)

Dependencies

$ sudo pip install boto cyclone Twisted

Boto should be configured with an access/secret key pair that allows to read from your bucket that holds the detailed billing CSV file. E.g. check your /etc/boto.cfg for the Credentials section.

Usage

$ python -m aws_billing.server <account-id> <bucket-name>

Then point your browser to localhost:8888 to see the report. Parsing may be a bit long the first time so be patient. Subsequent calls will be cached for a few minutes though.

Many aspects of the program can/should be improved :

• UI (the program is writing raw html, a nice CSS would be great)
• command line options (e.g. argparse)
• parsing (sns topics names should be better recognized)
• tagged vs non-tagged resources costs imputation (one should be able to cross the 2 tables)
• daemon mode
• etc
