AWS Billing Conductor
- What it is
- Customized billing and chargeback for AWS Organizations. Produce pro forma (custom-rate) billing data that differs from your actual AWS invoice.
- Why it exists
- Managed service providers and resellers need to bill their end customers at their own rates, with markups, discounts, or flat fees.
- Large enterprises need internal chargeback that reflects negotiated internal rates rather than raw AWS pricing.
- Concepts
- Billing groups — the set of accounts a custom rate applies to.
- Pricing rules — markups, discounts, or flat-rate overrides.
- Custom line items — add support fees or credits.
- Key point
- It does not change what AWS actually charges you. It changes the report you show downstream.
- Not to be confused with
- consolidated billing — one real invoice for the whole organization. Billing Conductor produces a second, synthetic view on top of it.
