How to Integrate Tenacity in AWS

This guide will walk you through the process of integrating your AWS account(s) with Tenacity. It takes only a couple of minutes to configure and less than 3 minutes for your data to become available in the Tenacity console.

‍

What Tenacity Will Create

• An IAM Role which delegates access for Tenacity to gather read-only information about your AWS cloud infrastructure
  ‍
• IAM Policies which allow the Tenacity IAM Role to access the read-only meta-data about your AWS cloud infrastructure
  ‍
• A Lambda function that creates an AWS Cost and Usage report for the Tenacity platform to read and analyze
  ‍
• An S3 bucket where AWS delivers the Cost and Usage report and from which Tenacity will be able to access the Cost and Usage report

‍

Prerequisites

• You will need to log into your AWS Root/Payer account as a user with access to create a CloudFormation Stack
  ‍
• You will need your Root/Payer account ID and (optionally) any Sub-Organization AWS account ID’s that you would like to immediately integrate with Tenacity (this can be done later)
