How to check cost per instance in RDS?

0

Hi, I have around 15 RDS instances, most of them Aurora Postgres. I want to check the cost at the instance level so I can know which instances are used more. Is there a way to check the cost per instance (not per service)? Thanks

Besides CUR, you can use Cost Explorer to get to the resource level: AWS Cost Explorer now supports Hourly and Resource Level Granularity.

You can also set up a dashboard using Glue, Athena, and Qucksight:

I don't know any other place where the resource-level cost data resides.

  • Thanks, this feature is helpful, but when you select the granularity at the resource level, it gives you data from last 14 days only. I want to be able to see the costs at resource level for at least few months. Is there any way to get that, besides CUR?

Under account - bills - charged by service - RDS - you will something like USD per db.* instance hour (or partial hour) running Aurora PostgreSQL, here you can check all info for all instance types. Additionally, pricing is here: https://instances.vantage.sh/aws/rds/db.t3.medium

  • Thank for the answer. This gives me charges per type of RDS instance like Aurora Postgres, Aurora MySQL, etc. I want the next level charges where I can see charges for Aurora Postgres DB instance 1, Aurora Postgres DB instance 2 and so on.
