Difference Between AWS SAVING PLAN Coverage Report vs Utilization Report

Coverage Report:

Queries: What is the difference Between AWS SAVING PLAN Coverage Report vs Utilization Report? Why one of the reports is showing 100% (Utilization Report) and the other 68% (Coverage Report)?

  • Utilization = SP Actual Usage / SP Purchase
    • Of all the SP you bought, how much have you used?
  • Coverage = SP Actual Usage / SP-eligible Usage
    • How much of your SP-eligible usage is covered by SP?

Hope this helps:

Utilization Report: Measures the amount of the savings plan you are using. If it's less than 100% it means that you reserved more than you need.

Coverage Report: Measures the percentage of your costs covered by the savings plan. If it's less than 100%, you can increase your savings plan to optimize costs.

Ideally, both should be 100%, but I would say that it's more important to keep the utilization report at 100% because it's already a fixed cost that you already acquired. The coverage report indicates further improvement opportunities to reduce costs.

Here you can find the official information from AWS documentation: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/savingsplans/latest/userguide/ce-sp-usingPR.html https://docs.aws.amazon.com/savingsplans/latest/userguide/ce-sp-usingCR.html
