Summary

  • providers/aws/ladder GetUsageBaseline now returns Basis: BaselineBasisResidual. Its series is uncovered On Demand Instances usage only, but the baseline left Basis empty (total), so Allocate subtracted existing commitment a second time and held a $4/hr uncovered series with a $6/hr Compute SP as "target already met".
  • Adds the go#282 replay through the real GetUsageBaseline plus ladder.Allocate, with a control (Basis forced to total) that shows the old hold, and the partial-target case.
  • Corrects the comments that described the double netting as intended (baseline.go, ondemand_series.go) and the CHANGELOG sentence that deferred this adoption.

Behaviour change to know about

  • With a target below 100% and existing commitment, the AWS ladder now returns a Hold ("residual baseline cannot size a partial target") instead of an undersized purchase. That is the engine design from 46c2725, not new logic here.
  • Platform prerequisite when it re-pins: the residual basis requires the caller to include in-flight commitments not yet visible in Cost Explorer (24-48h lag); see pkg/ladder/allocate_residual.go.

Evidence

  • Deletion probe: removing the Basis line fails TestGetUsageBaseline_SingleDaySeries_ReturnsThatValue and TestGetUsageBaseline_PartlyCoveredAccountStillAllocates.
  • providers/aws ladder tests pass under GOWORK=off and go.work; golangci-lint 0 issues.
  • Plan and staged diff reviewed cold (one comment finding, fixed in this change).

Not in scope

  • The issue also asks for total-demand recovery, unit normalisation and offering-rate translation (acceptance for fully covered accounts, multiple SP types, standard RIs). Not delivered here, so the issue stays open.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • AWS commitment sizing now accounts for On-Demand usage not already covered by existing commitments, reducing the risk of allocating against the same usage twice.
    • For residual usage, full-target allocations are limited to the uncovered amount. Partial targets may be held when existing commitments are present; total-usage sizing remains unchanged.

The AWS baseline series counts only on-demand usage that existing commitments
left uncovered, but GetUsageBaseline returned it with an empty Basis, so
Allocate read it as total demand and subtracted existing commitment a second
time. A $4/hr uncovered series with a $6/hr Compute SP held as "target already
met" while $4/hr was uncovered. Return BaselineBasisResidual, add the replay
through the real baseline and Allocate, and correct the comments that described
the double netting as intended.

Walkthrough

The AWS ladder now identifies its filtered On-Demand usage baseline as residual. Tests cover the returned basis and allocation outcomes for residual and total baselines, including a partial target.

Explanation

[ #282 ] GetUsageBaseline now declares BaselineBasisResidual, and the added replay verifies that a $4/hr residual is not reduced by a $6/hr existing commitment at a 100% target. However, #282 also requires sizing on a consistent demand basis, normalizing existing and expiring coverage to matching units, and translating allocations with actual offering rates. This PR does not implement those requirements. Its new regression uses a fake coverage source and constructed layer states and does not cover the requested fully covered, multiple-SP, standard-RI, or discount cases.

Resolution

Complete the #282 coding requirements by recovering eligible demand on a consistent basis, normalizing existing and expiring coverage, and translating allocations using actual offering rates. Add regression coverage for partly and fully covered accounts, multiple SP types, standard RIs, and RI/SP discounts through the requested CE filter/adapter and allocation path.

APPROVE @ a4002e7 by claude-nibblets

Cold review of #728 (Part of #282, +82/-12; 0 behind main). providers/aws/ladder GetUsageBaseline now returns Basis: ladder.BaselineBasisResidual; the rest is comment and CHANGELOG corrections (baseline.go, ondemand_series.go) that stop describing the double netting as intended.

Read: the series comes from CE GetCostAndUsage with the "On Demand Instances" purchase type, which already excludes RI-covered and Savings-Plan-covered usage, so it is a residual and declaring the total (empty) basis made Allocate subtract existing commitment a second time (the $4/hr uncovered series held against a $6/hr Compute SP as "target already met"). The engine semantics are already in the pinned pkg (pkg/ladder/allocate_residual.go, from #441, older than the 81a7090 pin providers/aws now uses): for a residual basis the gap is low_water * target_pct/100 - in_flight, exact at 100%, and a partial target with any existing commitment is held ("residual baseline cannot size a partial target") instead of guessed. The new tests replay go#282 through the real GetUsageBaseline plus ladder.Allocate, with a control that forces the total basis to show the old hold, plus the partial-target case.

Scoped probes (GOWORK=off go test ./ladder/ ./recommendations/ in providers/aws, scratch worktree at this head, baseline ok), each killed: the Basis line removed, and the basis declared as total: both fail TestGetUsageBaseline_SingleDaySeries_ReturnsThatValue and TestGetUsageBaseline_PartlyCoveredAccountStillAllocates.

Two things the platform must carry when it re-pins this (the PR says both; I confirmed them in the engine docs): the residual contract requires the caller to put in InFlight every commitment that is active but not yet in the series (Cost Explorer lags 24 to 48 hours), or Allocate re-plans it; and a partial target with existing commitment now returns a Hold instead of an undersized purchase, a behaviour change for any ladder with a target below 100%. The platform pins this module, so nothing changes there until it bumps the pin. The series is EC2-scoped, as before.

CI at this head: CI Success and Run pre-commit hooks pass; 15 pass.
