AWS SAVINGS PLAN: I cannot differentiate between the Coverage Report and a Utilization Report. However, I can see a difference in the report of both of these in my Billing account. 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)?
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.
