CUR

AWS Cost and Usage Report (CUR). The raw fact table. One row per resource per usage type per day (or hour, if configured). Lands as gzipped CSV or Parquet in an S3 bucket. Daily delivery, ~24 hour lag. Read with Athena, Redshift, or any data warehouse. The CUR is the only AWS source that exposes the full schema (resource tags, account, region, usage type, pricing dimension, RI discount attribution).
