Starting today, customers can create SKU pricing rules in AWS Billing Conductor (ABC). An AWS SKU uniquely combines product (service code), Usage Type, and Operation for an AWS resource. Using SKU pricing rules, customers can change the rate for any resource running in their environment. For example, an AWS partner can use a SKU pricing rule to give a specific discount to their customer(s) for all c5.2xl EC2 instances running in us-east-1. Another use case could have an internal Cloud Center of Excellence team give a specific discount to their teams on EC2 (using a service-specific pricing rule for EC2) in combination with a SKU pricing rule for all EBS volumes which defaults to the public on demand rate, replicating the Savings Plans discounting method.

AWS Billing Conductor is available in all public AWS Regions, excluding the Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet and Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD.
