Configuring an AWS Integration
The Amazon Web Services (AWS) Integration allows Virtana Platform to collect performance data at regular intervals from AWS for analysis in Cloud Cost Management (CCM). You can create a single or multiple integrations, depending on how many AWS instances you want to analyze with CCM.
There are 3 methods you can choose from to set up your AWS integration. But regardless of the method used, you must have permissions to perform administrative actions in both the AWS Console and in Virtana Platform Settings.
All setup methods also require you to move between the two UIs, to copy values from AWS and enter them into the Virtana integration setup form.
Note
In all AWS configuration tasks, the steps performed in AWS were accurate at the time the tasks were written. If the AWS interface changes, some steps might be different than described.
Tip
Ensure the AWS Security Token Service (STS) is active for all regions in which you have resources.
If STS is inactive, you will receive an error, "Invalid IAM role was rejected", when configuring the integration.
Steps to check the status of each region, as well as to make a region active, can be found in AWS documentation under the section titled "Activating and deactivating AWS STS in an AWS region".
Next Step
Before proceeding, ensure you have the proper roles and permissions.
