What does RunInstances:SV00? under lineItem/Operation mean in AWS billing report?

My AWS billing report shows for example RunInstances:SV001 under lineItem/Operation. Meaning of RunInstances is obvious but what is the SV00? about?

Thanks

Amazon has documented at least some of the RunInstances codes here and specifically discusses what the SV code means. I recommend referring to that documentation in case they add more codes. Should that link no longer work in the future, it's current contents are excerpted below (bold mine):

  • RunInstances: Linux/UNIX
  • RunInstances:00g0: Red Hat BYOL Linux
  • RunInstances:0010: Red Hat Enterprise Linux
  • RunInstances:0100: SQL Server Enterprise
  • RunInstances:0004: SQL Server Standard
  • RunInstances:0200: SQL Server Web
  • RunInstances:000g: SUSE Linux
  • RunInstances:0002: Windows
  • RunInstances:0800: Windows BYOL
  • RunInstances:0102: Windows with SQL Server Enterprise *
  • RunInstances:0006: Windows with SQL Server Standard *
  • RunInstances:0202: Windows with SQL Server Web *

* If two software licenses are associated with an AMI, the Platform details field shows both.

If you are running Spot Instances, the lineitem/Operation on your AWS Cost and Usage Report might be different from the Usage operation value that is listed here. For example, if lineitem/Operation displays RunInstances:0010:SV006, it means that Amazon EC2 is running Red Hat Enterprise Linux Spot Instance-hour in US East (Virginia) in VPC Zone #6.

RunInstances:SV001 means you are running EC2 spot instances in VPC zone #1. Relatively, SV002 could mean running EC2 spot instances in VPC zone #2.

By far there is no documentation stating the meaning of those values, and AWS may change that at any time.

Just for your information, here is a list of what I've summarized so far by analyzing the billing csv:

'RunInstances':  'Amazon EC2 running Linux/UNIX'
'RunInstances:000g': 'Amazon EC2 running SUSE Linux'
'RunInstances:0010': 'Amazon EC2 running Red Hat Enterprise Linux'
'RunInstances:0002': 'Amazon EC2 running Windows'
'RunInstances:0006':'Amazon EC2 running Windows with SQL Server Standard'
'RunInstances:0102': 'Amazon EC2 running Windows with SQL Server Enterprise'
'RunInstances:0202': 'Amazon EC2 running Windows with SQL Server Web'
'RunInstances:0800': 'Amazon EC2 running Windows (Bring your own license)'
