Automated Service Selection

When setting up discount rules, you have two options:

• Manually select a specific AWS service.

• Enable auto-discovery to automatically identify services eligible for PPA, EDP, or SPP discounts based on the billing period and AWS Account ID.

To support auto-discovery, you can define regular expressions (patterns) that match the descriptions of PPA, EDP, and SPP discounts in the AWS Cost and Usage Report (CUR).

Note: PPA and EDP discounts are not available for AWS Consolidated accounts.

The automated service selection considers AWS refund lines that match the description patterns configured in the Config tab. As a provider/OpCo you can add new patterns to accommodate variations in AWS discount descriptions used for your customers.

To configure this, complete the following steps:

1. Go to the Config tab in the main view of AWS Discount and Credit Manager, and then click the Refund Patterns tab.

   

2. Enter a new EDP, PPA or SPP discount type or a discount pattern (a regular expression to find discounts by the discount description) to allow the system to identify refund lines with different descriptions.

Note: In the case of AWS Consolidated, you can only configure SPP discount types or patterns.
