Prerequisites:

  • AWS user account login(s) with administrative access to the AWS Payer account for your AWS Organization(s).
  • Stratusphere™ FinOps user account login with the Admin or Owner role.

Instructions:

  1. Log into your AWS Payer account as an administrative user.

  2. Ensure you are in the us-east-1 region.

  3. Go to the AWS Organizations service and find the OU ID you want to be in scope for the integration (we recommend the “Root” user ID - e.g. “r-fwxf”). Copy this ID as it will be used in a later step.

  4. Copy the Account ID for your AWS Payer account into your clipboard.

  7. If you are onboarding a single AWS account without an AWS organization, you will not have OU IDs to add, and you should check the Standalone Account checkbox before clicking Create Data Source.

    After clicking the New Data Source button, paste in your AWS Organization payer account id into the Payer Account ID field. Optionally, you can add Organization IDs to the Organization Unit ID(s) field (this will usually be your root organization id; e.g. “r-fwxf” from the example earlier).
