Blended and Unblended Rates
AWS Cloud providers resellers and cloud service brokers depend on detailed billing files from Amazon Web Services. These files are difficult to parse due to their complexity and size often requiring resellers, CSBs and large AWS Cloud provider consumers to invest heavily in building in-house applications just to process AWS cloud provider invoices. CloudAware not only supports "giant" billing files but also provides advanced analytics, customization and invoicing based on the data derived from detailed billing files.

Waste Detection

There are over 100 waste seeking policies. Using Trusted Advisor policy designer, users can customize policies to increase or decrease number of days a resource is considered idling before an alert is issued.
