AWS Marketplace Metering Service

The AWS Marketplace Metering Service enables software vendors to accurately measure and bill customers for usage of their cloud-based products hosted on AWS. It tracks how much of a product or service is used—such as compute hours or data transfer—and facilitates automated, pay-as-you-go billing. This service streamlines usage-based billing, ensuring vendors charge customers fairly based on their consumption, and simplifies the procurement process for buyers by integrating directly with AWS's infrastructure and billing systems.
