AMI billing information fields

The following fields provide billing information associated with an AMI:

Platform details

The platform details associated with the billing code of the AMI. For example, Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Usage operation

The operation of the Amazon EC2 instance and the billing code that is associated with the AMI. For example, RunInstances:0010. Usage operation corresponds to the lineitem/Operation column on your Amazon Cost and Usage Report (CUR) and in the Amazon Price List API.

You can view these fields on the Instances or AMIs page in the Amazon EC2 console, or in the response that is returned by the describe-images or Get-EC2Image command.
