After signing up with to onboard your AWS account, select the Connect AWS option when choosing your provider, and follow these steps:

For Economize to connect with your AWS account, it will need access to the Cost and Usage Report (CUR) through an IAM role.

You can use an existing CUR or create a new one during onboarding.

For creating and using a new CUR select No when asked for the same during onboarding and follow these steps:

  1. Click on Create stack to get redirected to AWS CloudFormation with prefilled settings that will look as follows.

  1. Check on the I acknowledge that AWS CloudFormation might create IAM resources within the blue dialog box.

  2. Click on Create stack.

  3. Once the stack has been created, the application must validate itself.

  4. In case the stack has been created but not validated yet, copy the value of RoleArn from the Outputs field in the AWS console and paste it into the provided field during the onboarding process.

  5. Click on Connect.

  1. Once the RoleArn ID is been verified you can proceed with the next steps of onboarding.

We recommend you create and use a new CUR during the onboarding if your existing CUR doesn't configure to the following settings:

  • Additional content: Include resource IDs

  • Report data time granularity: Hourly

  • Report versioning: Overwrite existing report

  • Compression type: Parquet

  • Report data integration: Amazon Athena

When using an existing CUR select Yes when asked for the same during onboarding and follow these steps:

  1. Enter the Bucket name, and select the Region where it's been hosted.

  1. Click on Create stack to get redirected to AWS CloudFormation with prefilled settings that will look as follows.

  1. Check on the I acknowledge that AWS CloudFormation might create IAM resources within the blue dialog box.

  2. Click on Create stack.

  3. Once the stack has been created, the application must validate itself.

  4. In case the stack has been created but not validated yet, copy the value of RoleArn from the Outputs field in the AWS console and paste it into the provided field during the onboarding process.

  5. Click on Conect.

  1. Once the RoleArn ID is been verified you can proceed with the next steps of onboarding.

SUCCESS

It's required to use the while onboarding, to onboard other accounts later on.

It can take up to 24 hours for data to fully propagate in a newly generated CUR. Once the onboarding steps are completed successfully you can utilize to gain deeper insights into your linked AWS account.
