2. Cost and Usage Reports are enabled in the AWS billing service (not applicable to AWS member account) at least 24 hours prior.
   1. Create new or use an existing cost & usage report. Record the name of the CUR Report

Note: The CUR report must have an hourly granularity.

1. 1. Obtain the S3 bucket name from the Cost & Usage Report selected in the previous step.
   2. Ensure AWS Account has permissions to read the S3 bucket as well as read the Cost and Usage report data from the S3 bucket. (not applicable to AWS member account).
2. (Optional) To enable Service Orchestration on this AWS Account, HyperCloud™ in this release still needs the api key and secret access key. Ensure the following
   1. A dedicated IAM user with only programmatic Access is created in the AWS IAM.
   2. Ensure API Key and Secret are created for this IAM user.
   3. Attach the following policies to this dedicated IAM users either using the AWS Console or from Governance & Security  Identity if the AWS Account is already added to HyperCloud™ Platform
   4. Attach the following policies
      1. AmazonEC2FullAccess
      2. AmazonVPCFullAccess
      3. AmazonEKS* (For Kubernetes)

Note: For enabling terraform based deployments, configure additional permissions/policies based on the service that will be provisioned via HyperCloud™ Platform.
