What are the BOYD AWS Cost and Usage Report configuration requirements?

  • AWS CUR reporting with:
    • Include resource IDs enabled
    • Data export delivery options: Parquet format;
    • Report Versioning: Overwrite existing data export file;
    • Daily reporting is recommended; hourly reporting is supported but will result in much larger datasets and reduce performance.
  • Recommended less than 1GB/month total CUR parquet size, but mileage will vary depending on the schema columns collected, cloud services/architectures in use and local system capabilities;
  • AWS command line access to your Cost and Usage Report (CUR) S3 bucket; see “What AWS permissions are required?” for details
