type SavingsPlansType

string

param SavingsPlansType

[REQUIRED]

The Savings Plans recommendation type requested.

type TermInYears

string

param TermInYears

[REQUIRED]

The savings plan recommendation term used to generate these recommendations.

type PaymentOption

string

param PaymentOption

[REQUIRED]

The payment option used to generate these recommendations.

type AccountScope

string

param AccountScope

The account scope that you want your recommendations for. Amazon Web Services calculates recommendations including the management account and member accounts if the value is set to PAYER . If the value is LINKED , recommendations are calculated for individual member accounts only.

type NextPageToken

string

param NextPageToken

The token to retrieve the next set of results. Amazon Web Services provides the token when the response from a previous call has more results than the maximum page size.

type PageSize

integer

param PageSize

The number of recommendations that you want returned in a single response object.

type LookbackPeriodInDays

string

param LookbackPeriodInDays

[REQUIRED]

The lookback period used to generate the recommendation.

type Filter

dict

param Filter

You can filter your recommendations by Account ID with the LINKED_ACCOUNT dimension. To filter your recommendations by Account ID, specify Key as LINKED_ACCOUNT and Value as the comma-separated Acount ID(s) for which you want to see Savings Plans purchase recommendations.

For GetSavingsPlansPurchaseRecommendation, the Filter does not include CostCategories or Tags . It only includes Dimensions . With Dimensions , Key must be LINKED_ACCOUNT and Value can be a single Account ID or multiple comma-separated Account IDs for which you want to see Savings Plans Purchase Recommendations. AND and OR operators are not supported.

  • Or (list) --

    Return results that match either Dimension object.

    • (dict) --

      Use Expression to filter by cost or by usage. There are two patterns:

      • Simple dimension values - You can set the dimension name and values for the filters that you plan to use. For example, you can filter for REGION==us-east-1 OR REGION==us-west-1 . For GetRightsizingRecommendation , the Region is a full name (for example, REGION==US East (N. Virginia) . The Expression example looks like: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", “us-west-1” ] } } The list of dimension values are OR'd together to retrieve cost or usage data. You can create Expression and DimensionValues objects using either with* methods or set* methods in multiple lines.

      • Compound dimension values with logical operations - You can use multiple Expression types and the logical operators AND/OR/NOT to create a list of one or more Expression objects. This allows you to filter on more advanced options. For example, you can filter on ((REGION == us-east-1 OR REGION == us-west-1) OR (TAG.Type == Type1)) AND (USAGE_TYPE != DataTransfer) . The Expression for that looks like this: { "And": [ {"Or": [ {"Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", "us-west-1" ] }}, {"Tags": { "Key": "TagName", "Values": ["Value1"] } } ]}, {"Not": {"Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": ["DataTransfer"] }}} ] }

      Note

      Because each Expression can have only one operator, the service returns an error if more than one is specified. The following example shows an Expression object that creates an error.

      { "And": [ ... ], "DimensionValues": { "Dimension": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": [ "DataTransfer" ] } }

      Note

      For GetRightsizingRecommendation action, a combination of OR and NOT is not supported. OR is not supported between different dimensions, or dimensions and tags. NOT operators aren't supported. Dimensions are also limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT , REGION , or RIGHTSIZING_TYPE .

  • And (list) --

    Return results that match both Dimension objects.

    • (dict) --

      Use Expression to filter by cost or by usage. There are two patterns:

      • Simple dimension values - You can set the dimension name and values for the filters that you plan to use. For example, you can filter for REGION==us-east-1 OR REGION==us-west-1 . For GetRightsizingRecommendation , the Region is a full name (for example, REGION==US East (N. Virginia) . The Expression example looks like: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", “us-west-1” ] } } The list of dimension values are OR'd together to retrieve cost or usage data.

      Note

      Because each Expression can have only one operator, the service returns an error if more than one is specified. The following example shows an Expression object that creates an error.

      { "And": [ ... ], "DimensionValues": { "Dimension": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": [ "DataTransfer" ] } }

      For GetRightsizingRecommendation action, a combination of OR and NOT is not supported. OR is not supported between different dimensions, or dimensions and tags. NOT operators aren't supported. Dimensions are also limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT , REGION , or RIGHTSIZING_TYPE .

  • Not (dict) --

    Return results that don't match a Dimension object.

  • Dimensions (dict) --

    The specific Dimension to use for Expression .

    • Key (string) --

      The names of the metadata types that you can use to filter and group your results. For example, AZ returns a list of Availability Zones.

    • Values (list) --

      The metadata values that you can use to filter and group your results. You can use GetDimensionValues to find specific values.

      • (string) --

    • MatchOptions (list) --

      The match options that you can use to filter your results. MatchOptions is only applicable for actions related to Cost Category. The default values for MatchOptions are EQUALS and CASE_SENSITIVE .

    The specific Tag to use for Expression .

    • Key (string) --

      The key for the tag.
