Feature Overview
By default, Ripple calculates costs using its own unique logic called True Unblended Cost.
However, with this release, you can now switch to AWS Unblended Cost at the billing group level.
You can choose the calculation method when creating a new billing group. AWS Unblended Cost uses Amazon's own cost calculation logic, so the figures generated will match the billing amounts you receive directly from AWS.
How to Configure
Click Billing Groups in the left-hand menu in Ripple.
Click Add Billing Group in the top right.
Under Basic Settings, change the Calculation Type to Unblended (the default is True Unblended).
Complete any other billing group settings and save.
Once configured, you can confirm the setting in the billing group details, as shown in the image below.
Important Notes
Please note that the calculation type can only be selected when creating a billing group. It cannot be changed once the billing group has been created, so choose the Calculation Type carefully when setting up the billing group.
