Cost Center
...
(cost_center)
- Used to help facilitate automated billing via the Cornell KFS system.
- Any AWS resource with that tag will be billed directly to the provided account number.
- Anything in a Cornell AWS account that is not tagged (or cannot be tagged) will be billed to the Cornell account number associated with the AWS account as a whole.
Note that applying the cost_center tag to a resource does not retroactively adjust the billing data for the resource, prior to the tag being set. E.g., If you have an EC2 instance running 24/7 and you set the cost_center tag for that instance on the 15th day of the billing period, the cost_center will be billed the cost of the EC2 instance starting from that day forward.
