aws cur command [options]

aws cur is the AWS CLI interface for AWS Cost and Usage Reports, enabling programmatic management of billing report definitions. Cost and Usage Reports provide comprehensive cost data about your AWS usage, delivered to an S3 bucket in CSV or Parquet format.
Reports can be configured with different time granularities (hourly, daily, monthly) and include resource-level detail. The data can be integrated with analytics services like Athena, Redshift, or QuickSight for cost analysis.

Reports can take up to 24 hours to appear in S3 after creation. The API endpoint is only available in us-east-1 region. Report data may be delayed and is not suitable for real-time cost monitoring. Legacy reports created in the console may not be visible via the API.

AWS Cost and Usage Reports launched in 2015 as an evolution of the Detailed Billing Reports. The CUR API was added in 2017 to enable programmatic management. Parquet format support was introduced in 2018 for better integration with analytics tools, and resource-level data became available for more services over time.
