aws pricing command [options]

aws pricing is the AWS CLI interface for the AWS Price List API, providing programmatic access to AWS service pricing information. It allows querying prices using standardized product attributes like location, instance type, and storage class.
The API is useful for building cost estimation tools, budget forecasting, and cost optimization analysis. Prices are returned at the SKU level with both on-demand and reserved pricing options.

The Price List API is only available in us-east-1 and ap-south-1 regions. Price data can be large; use filters to narrow results. Prices are in USD by default; some services support other currencies. Bulk price list downloads are JSON files that can be several gigabytes.

The AWS Price List API launched in 2017 to provide programmatic access to pricing previously only available through the web console or bulk price list files. It enables automated cost analysis and integration with financial planning tools.
