AWS Member Account Support

Overview

Before the release of v6.8.0, cost and usage was only available for AWS master accounts. This was because the cost and usage data was collected only for the master account. In the v6.8.0 release, cost and usage support for member account has been added as described below.

On-boarding of AWS member account

The onboarding process of a member account is similar to that of a master account.

Select the Member option from the AWS checklist in the dropdown and onboard it just as you would a master account.

Provide Administrative account consent for Spend Analysis and Security/Compliance.

Click Done. Wizard will move to the next screen.

Provide Name for your account.

If you wish to enable Orchestration features for this account, Provide AWS Access ID and AWS secret Key. You can optionally share this account with the users under your tenancy.

Click Create Role ARN to complete the procedure.

Account will be listed under your master account if it is already on boarded.

Note: While onboarding, please make sure that you are logged in with same account ID as that on your AWS console.

Cost Collection

Service Level Cost: When a member account is onboarded without a master account its cost status will be set as SERVICE LEVEL COST under account management as shown below.
