Introduction
In this section we provide a description of
CUDOS Dashboard, Cost Intelligence Dashboard (CID) and KPI Dashboard
which use data exclusively from the
AWS
Cost and Usage Report.
All these dashboards are based on the AWS Cost & Usage Report (CUR) that contains the most comprehensive set of AWS cost and usage data available, including additional metadata about AWS services, pricing, Reserved Instances, and Savings Plans. The CUR itemizes usage at the account or Organization level by product code, usage type and operation. These costs can be further organized by enabling Cost Allocation tags and Cost Categories.
-
AWS Data Exports
delivers daily the Cost & Usage Report (CUR2) to an Amazon S3 Bucket in the Management Account. -
Amazon S3
replication rule copies Export data to a dedicated Data Collection Account S3 bucket automatically. -
Amazon Athena
allows querying data directly from the S3 bucket using an AWS Glue table schema definition. -
Amazon QuickSight
creates datasets from Amazon Athena , refreshes daily and caches in SPICE(Super-fast, Parallel, In-memory Calculation Engine) for Amazon QuickSight -
User Teams (Executives, FinOps, Engineers) can access Cloud Intelligence Dashboards in Amazon QuickSight
. Access is secured through AWS IAM , IIC (AWS IAM Identity Center , formerly SSO), and optional Row Level Security .
If you do not have access to the Management account, you can also deploy CID for a subset of Linked Accounts.
