Before starting the flow ensure that:

• You have AWS organization permissions to create IAM roles.
• The account you want to onboard is a payer account (not a linked account)

Onboarding using API

1. Follow our API documentation:

https://docs.umbrellacost.io/reference/onboard-aws-account

2. Run the script in AWS CloudShell:

In the response of the API, you will receive two files to run in AWS CloudShell.

3.Validate Account

In this step, Umbrella Cost validates all your AWS details. This step can take up to 1 hour.
We will inform you once the validation is done so that you will be able to connect your linked account. Note: In case you do not want to connect your linked accounts you can ignore the email and we will notify you again after the entire process is done and you can see data in your account.

You can see the status of the onboarding under Accounts > Cloud Accounts page.

For Umbrella Cost to be able to create recommendations for your account, you will need to connect all the linked accounts to the platform. You can find the full instructions here .
