Visualize Amazon QuickSight costs using AWS CUR and cost allocation tags

Amazon QuickSight is a business intelligence (BI) solution that any organization can leverage to share data and insights to anyone in the organization. As a serverless BI tool, it offers a comprehensive set of advanced analytics features, and one core benefit is that pricing is consumption based. That being said, Quicksight can be leveraged for different use cases and each variant might require a different method to track and report on the cost of running QuickSight. In this post, we explore how you can use AWS CUR and AWS tags to monitor how specific users are using QuickSight. We also discuss how these tags can help organizations implement cloud cost controls by providing the data needed to support custom chargeback reporting.
