AMI billing information fields
The following fields provide billing information associated with an AMI:
- Platform details
-
The platform details associated with the billing code of the AMI. For example,
Red Hat Enterprise Linux. - Usage operation
-
The operation of the Amazon EC2 instance and the billing code that is associated with the AMI. For example,
RunInstances:0010. Usage operation corresponds to the lineitem/Operation column on your AWS Cost and Usage Report (CUR) and in the AWS Price List API.
You can view these fields on the Instances or AMIs page in the Amazon EC2 console, or in the response that is returned by the describe-images or Get-EC2Image command.

1 If two software licenses are associated with an AMI, the Platform details field shows both.
2 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 (N. Virginia) in Zone 6.
3 This appears as RunInstances (Linux/UNIX) in your usage reports.
