# lineItem/UsageType #level100 #cur #finops #curfield ## Source - Category: [[Line item details]] - [AWS documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cur/latest/userguide/Lineitem-columns.html#l-U) ## Relevant notes Most of the content of this field have a dedicated column making it not as useful as it could be. ## Notes The usage type describes what is being used. For instances it looks like `USW2-BoxUsage:m2.2xlarge` describing in one string the region, the instance type, the generation and the size. This could be part of a key in a [[Fact table]] (not tested yet)
