Per Resource Cost

Why?

To fully onboard Vantage and enable more granular cost insights at a resource level across all member accounts within your AWS Organization, the "Per-Resource Costs" feature must be enabled. With the feature enabled, we can better assist you with cost optimization and insights, and you will get access to more granular cost data through the Vantage portal.

How?

What you need to do is to deploy an AWS Organization wide CloudFormation StackSet. This StackSet will create an IAM role in each AWS member account, which then will be used by Vantage to collect cost data and insights. Once the deployment is done, the “Per-Resource Costs” feature is enabled.​

Most of the permissions are on a ReadOnly basis, with an exception for the VantageAutoPilot policy. This policy allows some API calls regarding instance reservations, but it will only be used in case you decide to activate the automation feature for instance reservations.​

We'll provide you with all the required parameters for the StackSet. Simply follow this step-by-step guide and fill in the values.​

The template which will be deployed can be viewed here.
