AWS: export your CUR from S3

Run this in a terminal with read-only AWS CLI access. It bundles the months you choose into a single harness-savings.zip to drop below — Harness never connects to your bucket.

# 1. Billing months to assess (YYYYMMDD-YYYYMMDD per month, space-separated)
MONTHS=""

# 2. Point these at your AWS Cost & Usage Report location
BUCKET="<your-bucket>"
PREFIX="<your/prefix>"

# 3. Sync each month and bundle into one zip to upload below
WORKDIR="$HOME/harness-savings-export"
mkdir -p "$WORKDIR" && cd "$WORKDIR"
for MONTH in $MONTHS; do
  aws s3 sync "s3://$BUCKET/$PREFIX/$MONTH/" "./$MONTH/"
  zip -ru harness-savings.zip "$MONTH/"
done
Azure: export Cost Management data

Run this with Azure CLI access to the storage account that contains your Cost Management exports. The script supports partitioned and non-partitioned exports and bundles the latest files into harness-savings.zip.

Download azure_billing_export.sh
# 1. Sign in and verify required Azure tools
az login
az account show
jq --version

# 2. Download the Harness script, then make it executable
curl -L "https://www.harness.io/assessments/downloads/cloud-costs/azure_billing_export.sh" -o azure_billing_export.sh
chmod +x azure_billing_export.sh

# 3. Point these at your Azure Cost Management export in Blob Storage
STORAGE_ACCOUNT="<storage-account>"
CONTAINER="<container>"
BLOB_PREFIX="<path/to/export>"
MONTHS=""

# 4. Download the latest export files and bundle the upload file
./azure_billing_export.sh "$STORAGE_ACCOUNT" "$CONTAINER" "$BLOB_PREFIX" $MONTHS

# Upload this file below:
# ~/harness-savings-export-azure/harness-savings.zip
Google Cloud: export billing data

Run this with Google Cloud SDK access to your BigQuery billing export and a destination GCS bucket. The script exports selected invoice months to Parquet and bundles harness-savings.zip.

Download gcp_billing_export.sh
# 1. Sign in and select the project that can read your billing export
gcloud auth login
gcloud auth application-default login
gcloud config set project "<project-id>"

# 2. Download the Harness script, then make it executable
curl -L "https://www.harness.io/assessments/downloads/cloud-costs/gcp_billing_export.sh" -o gcp_billing_export.sh
chmod +x gcp_billing_export.sh

# 3. Point these at your BigQuery billing export and destination GCS bucket
PROJECT_ID="<project-id>"
SOURCE_TABLE="<dataset>.<table>"
DESTINATION_BUCKET="<bucket-without-gs-prefix>"
INVOICE_MONTHS=""

# 4. Export invoice months to Parquet and bundle the upload file
./gcp_billing_export.sh "$PROJECT_ID" "$SOURCE_TABLE" "$DESTINATION_BUCKET" $INVOICE_MONTHS

# Upload this file below:
# ~/harness-savings-export-gcp/harness-savings.zip

Common questions

The questions everyone asks

Especially the one about uploading billing data.

Is it safe to upload our billing data?
Your billing export contains cost data such as service names, usage hours, and costs. It does not contain application data, customer records, or PII. Your file is processed in an isolated environment and used only for this assessment.
Do I need a Harness account?
No. You only need a work email and basic contact details so the Harness team can send the validated report. The assessment runs without requiring you to sign in.
How accurate are the savings numbers?
Every finding traces to a specific formula documented in the report. High-confidence findings (commitments, anomalies) are backed by measured data. Medium-confidence findings are clearly labelled, with all assumptions visible.
What if I can't upload billing data?
Your account team can run the assessment using your existing Harness connectors if you're already a customer — no file upload needed.
