What it is
SKU Meter describes the functionality being metered or measured by a particular SKU in a charge. Service providers often have billing models in which multiple SKUs exist for a given service to describe and bill for different functionalities for that service. For example, an object storage service may have separate SKUs for functionalities such as object storage, API requests, data transfer, encryption, and object management. This field helps practitioners understand which functionalities are being metered by the different SKUs that appear in a Cost and Usage FOCUS dataset.
