AWS Clean Rooms announces configurability for collaboration payment

Today we are announcing a new capability for AWS Clean Rooms which provides customers the flexibility to choose the collaboration member responsible for the query compute costs in a collaboration. Collaboration creators can now configure payment responsibility to decouple the member who runs the query from the member who gets charged for the query compute costs. For example, a media publisher may agree to pay the query compute costs in a collaboration, even if the advertiser is the query runner in the collaboration. The collaboration creator sets the query runner at the time the collaboration is created. With payment configuration, costs are no longer constrained to billing based on who runs queries. All members, including the member paying for the query compute costs, are able to review settings before they join the collaboration.

AWS Clean Rooms helps companies and their partners more easily analyze and collaborate on their collective datasets—without sharing or copying one another’s underlying data. Companies can deploy their own clean rooms without having to build, manage, or maintain their own solutions and without moving data outside of their AWS environment.

AWS Clean Rooms is generally available in these AWS Regions. To learn more, visit AWS Clean Rooms.
