AWS Billing Conductor now supports custom rates and usage tier pricing configurations

AWS Billing Conductor now lets you define custom rate pricing for AWS services, including defining custom usage tiers to configure rates by the desired usage volume. 
Customers and Partners using AWS Billing Conductor to model commercial agreements with subsidiaries, affiliates, or end customers can now more easily reflect their negotiated pricing on pro forma billing data. Using SKU-scoped pricing rules, you can enter a custom rate and configure usage tier thresholds — instead of marking up or down from the public on-demand rates tied to pre-defined AWS usage tiers. 
By configuring exact rates and tier breaks directly in a pricing rule, you no longer need to calculate percentage-based markups or markdowns against public on-demand pricing to model your commercial agreements. This gives you precise control over your pro forma billing configuration.
Custom rates and custom usage tiers configuration via SKU-scoped pricing rules is available in all commercial AWS Regions, excluding the Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet, and the Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD. To learn more, visit the AWS Billing Conductor product page, or review the User Guide.

AWS Direct Connect announces flat-rate pricing for dedicated connections

AWS Direct Connect announces flat-rate pricing for 10G and 100G dedicated connections
AWS Direct Connect provides dedicated network connectivity from on-premises environments to AWS. Customers value the flexibility of AWS Direct Connect’s pay-as-you-go pricing, paying only for the port hours and data transfer out (DTO) they use, with no upfront commitment or long-term contracts. For workloads with large, sustained DTO, the per-gigabyte charges vary from month to month, making monthly costs challenging to predict as traffic grows. Flat-rate pricing for 10 Gbps and 100 Gbps dedicated connections introduces a single fixed monthly price that eliminates DTO charges within the selected pricing tier. This pricing model is designed for network architects, enterprise IT teams, and FinOps practitioners who need predictable, fixed-line-item network budgeting. With a fixed monthly price,  you can grow your use of AWS without worrying about increasing data transfer bills.
With flat-rate pricing, you pay a single fee based on your connection bandwidth and the geographical scope of your connectivity. With five geographic tiers ranging from same-metro to global coverage, customers can select the scope that matches their traffic patterns and pay one consistent monthly rate regardless of data volume. Flat-rate pricing also introduces the port-pair concept, a new way to provision dedicated connections with inbuilt resiliency. A port-pair is two dedicated connections on different devices or locations that share the same bandwidth and geographical connectivity scope. One connection carries your traffic while the other stands by for redundancy. The second connection is included at no additional charge. Port-pairs are recommended but optional.
Flat-rate pricing is available at all AWS Direct Connect locations across all commercial AWS Regions (China Regions excluded) and applies exclusively to Dedicated Connections. The pricing model is configured per connection and gives customers the flexibility to switch billing mode on connections at any time.
To learn more about flat-rate pricing tiers, port-pair configurations, and eligibility requirements, visit the AWS Direct Connect Flat-Rate Pricing, User Guide and Pricing Guide pages.

Monitor cost anomalies directly in Billing and Cost Management Dashboards with the new Detected Anomalies widget

Today, AWS Billing and Cost Management (BCM) announces support for the Detected Anomalies widget in BCM Dashboards. You can now review cost anomalies alongside cost and usage, budgets, cost efficiency, and reports for Savings Plans and Reserved Instance coverage and utilization. This provides a unified view of your spending, commitments, and cost anomalies in a single, tailored dashboard.
The Detected Anomalies widget displays the number of anomalies detected and their total cost impact relative to your month-to-date spend, giving you immediate context on each anomaly’s scale. For each anomaly, you can review the cost impact, root cause, and duration. Choose a look-back period of 30, 60, or 90 days, and filter by severity, service, account, and region so that each dashboard shows the anomalies most relevant to that account. By adding one or more Detected Anomalies widget to a BCM Dashboard, finance teams and cloud administrators can monitor anomalies from their existing cost management workflows.
The widget links directly to the AWS Cost Anomaly Detection console so you can easily investigate an anomaly and record your assessment. It is fully integrated with dashboard exports and can be included in scheduled email reports or downloaded as a CSV or PDF for offline analysis. It is also included with cross-account dashboard sharing.
The Detected Anomalies widget for BCM Dashboards is available in all commercial AWS Regions at no additional charge. To learn more, visit our User Guide.

AWS improves regional resiliency for root user sign-in

AWS root user sign-in is now served across US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), and US West (Oregon), with sign-in traffic distributed across all three Regions. This change reduces reliance on US East (N. Virginia) and improves resiliency during service disruptions. AWS automatically routes your root user sign-in to a supported Region without requiring you to select a Region or change how you sign in. This improvement is available now for all AWS accounts.
In AWS CloudTrail, ConsoleLogin events for root user sign-ins are recorded in the Region that processed the sign-in request. To maintain full visibility into root user sign-in activity, update your monitoring and alerting to cover US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), and US West (Oregon).
To learn more, see the AWS Sign-In documentation and the CloudTrail ConsoleLogin event reference.
