Step 5. Launch the spoke stacks when not using AWS Organizations or hybrid environments - Quota Monitor for AWS

Step 5. Launch the spoke stacks when not using AWS Organizations or hybrid environments

Use the following procedure to launch the components necessary to monitor quotas in secondary accounts. You must launch the spoke stack in every account you want to monitor (including the account where the hub stack is deployed). You can deploy the Service Quotas spoke stack in all Regions, but only deploy the Trusted Advisor spoke stack in the Regions where the service's data plane resides, specifically, US East 1 (N. Virginia) and AWS GovCloud (US-West).

Enter the secondary account IDs in the /QuotaMonitor/Accounts Systems Manager Parameter Store provisioned by the primary template before you launch this template in secondary accounts. If you are using Organizations or a hybrid deployment mode, spoke template deployments are managed by CloudFormation StackSets.

  3. On the Create stack page, verify that the correct template URL shows in the Amazon S3 URL text box, and choose Next.

  4. On the Specify stack details page, assign a name to your solution stack.

  5. Under Parameters, review the following parameter for the template and modify it as necessary.
