Smart Cost Amortization
Irregular charges like Enterprise Support, Marketplace contracts, and Shield Advanced are spread intelligently—no more forecast-wrecking spikes.
How Amortization Works
Time-Based Amortization
- ● Multi-month Marketplace contracts spread over full contract duration. Prevents forecast distortion from spend spikes and avoids unnecessary back-and-forth with BUs.
- ● First-of-month charges (DynamoDB Backup storage, Support fees, Shield Advanced) spread across all days of the month.
Account-Based Amortization
- ● Enterprise Support fees distributed across all accounts proportionately to their spend.
- ● Unused Savings Plans & RIs from central purchases allocated fairly across benefiting accounts.
- ● AWS Shield Advanced fees spread proportionately based on protected resource usage.
