+The cost impact for this opportunity is estimated by Cost Explorer. Please be aware this is amortized over the life of the reservation.
+
+### Example
+
+The daily cost impact for this opportunity if you purchase the recommended reservation ($7.801429), divided by 30. Please be aware this is amortized over the life of the reservation.
+

+ - opportunity type, fixed value: `0010_ce_ri_ec2`
+ - account ID, e.g. `123456789012`
+ - region, e.g. `us-east-1`
+ - instance type, e.g. `t3a.xlarge`

+ - tenancy, e.g. `Shared`
+ - is current generation, e.g. `True`
+ - is size flexible, e.g. `False`
+that are followed by a slash symbol `/` and the reservation options that you can choose in the Cloudthread Savings Hub UI (separated by colon symbol `:`):
+ - payment option, e.g. `PARTIAL_UPFRONT`
+ - term, e.g. `ONE_YEAR`
+ - offering class, e.g. `STANDARD`
+
+The example record id would then be as follows:
