GetUsageForecastRetrieves a forecast for how much Amazon Web Services predicts that you will use over the forecast time period that you select, based on your past usage. Show Request SyntaxRequest ParametersFor information about the parameters that are common to all actions, see Common Parameters. The request accepts the following data in JSON format.

Type: String Valid Values: Required: Yes PredictionIntervalLevelAWS Cost Explorer always returns the mean forecast as a single point. You can request a prediction interval around the mean by specifying a confidence level. The higher the confidence level, the more confident Cost Explorer is about the actual value falling in the prediction interval. Higher confidence levels result in wider prediction intervals. Type: Integer Valid Range: Minimum value of 51. Maximum value of 99. Required: No TimePeriodThe start and end dates of the period that you want to retrieve usage forecast for. The start date is included in the period, but the end date isn't included in the period. For example, if Type: DateInterval object Required: Yes Response SyntaxResponse ElementsIf the action is successful, the service sends back an HTTP 200 response.

How does Amazon forecast work?Amazon Forecast is a fully managed service that uses machine learning to deliver highly accurate forecasts. Based on the same technology used at Amazon.com, Amazon Forecast uses machine learning to combine time series data with additional variables to build forecasts.
What tool is best for forecasting your AWS spending?AWS Cost Explorer enables you to view and analyze your AWS Cost and Usage Reports (AWS CUR). You can also predict your overall cost associated with AWS services in the future by creating a forecast of AWS Cost Explorer, but you can't view historical data beyond 12 months.
What is usage type in AWS?Usage types are the units that each service uses to measure the usage of a specific type of resource. For example, the BoxUsage:t2. micro(Hrs) usage type filters by the running hours of Amazon EC2 t2.
What forecasting model does Amazon use?Amazon Forecast CNN-QR, Convolutional Neural Network - Quantile Regression, is a proprietary machine learning algorithm for forecasting time series using causal convolutional neural networks (CNNs). CNN-QR works best with large datasets containing hundreds of time series.
