Add your AWS account to FinOps for Cloud

The final step in configuring your AWS account for FinOps for Cloud is to add the AWS data source.

Adding a management or standalone AWS account

The steps to add a management account or standalone account are similar.

• If you are adding a management account, choose the Management account type

• If you are adding a standalone account, or a member account without a management account, choose the Standalone account type.

When you add a management or standalone account, you must enter the details of the role to assume (or IAM user and access key) as well as the details of the billing export.
