Agentic AI Costs, from Multi-Tenant Attribution to the AWS FinOps Agent
This AWS User Group session at WeWork One Glenwood in Raleigh runs from 12:00 pm to 2:00 pm ET on November 20, 2026, and covers how to measure and attribute the cost of agentic AI workloads on AWS. It is aimed at cloud architects, FinOps practitioners, engineering leaders, and anyone running or planning such workloads.
The first part is for ISVs and platform teams that offer agentic features to many customers. It explains why cost control for multi-tenant agents is harder than ordinary cloud cost management, and what makes up the price of one agent invocation besides tokens. It then presents an attribution hierarchy running from reasoning step to agent, workflow, user, and tenant. Other topics are combining billing data with telemetry, and multi-tenant patterns on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, including attribution by instrumentation in pooled models. A live demo shows per-tenant cost attribution.
The second part introduces the AWS FinOps Agent, which is in public preview. The agent traces cost anomalies to their root cause and answers cost questions in plain language inside Slack and Jira, drawing on Cost Explorer, Cost Anomaly Detection, and related data sources. The demo covers setting it up, asking real cost questions, and following an anomaly back to its cause. It also includes tips for deploying the agent across an organisation from the management account.
