The command "aws cur describe-report-definitions" is used to retrieve information about the Cost and Usage Reports (CUR) definitions in AWS.
Here is a breakdown of the command:
- "aws" is the command-line interface (CLI) for Amazon Web Services (AWS).
- "cur" refers to the Cost and Usage Reports service in AWS.
- "describe-report-definitions" is the specific API action used to obtain information about the report definitions.
When you run this command, AWS CLI sends a request to the CUR service to retrieve details about the available CUR definitions. This may include information such as the report names, formats, frequency, and the S3 bucket location where the reports are stored.
By using this command, you can gather information about the existing CUR definitions in your AWS account, which can be useful for monitoring cost and usage information for billing and analysis purposes.
