Connector for AWS in Azure Cost Management + Billing

-

In 2019, Microsoft announced the preview of the connector for Azure Cost Management + Billing, which allows customers to analyze their Azure and AWS spend from a single pane of glass in the Azure Portal. 

Guess what?.... the feature is now generally available. This new connector simplifies handling different cost models and numerous billing cycles so you can visualize and always stay up-to-date with your spend across clouds.  

Let's get started.

Setting up the connector in a few quick steps:

  • Setup and configure an AWS cost and usage report in the AWS portal.
  • Create a role and policy in AWS, which provides Azure Cost Management with access as well as permissions proving organization API access and cost explorer API access.
  • Lastly, set up the AWS connector in Azure Cost Management + Billing.

You can view your AWS costs within Cost Analysis in the following scopes:

  • AWS Linked accounts under a management Group.
  • AWS Linked account costs.
  • AWS Consolidated account costs.


You can view your costs for Azure and AWS together by using the management group scope, which aggregates the costs for AWS linked accounts and Azure subscriptions together. 

To get started, in cost analysis, use the scope picker and select the management group that holds your AWS linked accounts.



Here’s an example showing the management group cost in cost analysis, grouped by the provider (Azure and AWS):



Here is an example of costs for an AWS consolidated account, grouped by service name:




The forecast feature in Cost Analysis provides you the estimation of your costs for a selected time period. Now you can also leverage the very same feature to estimate your future AWS costs.


Additionally, budgets function in Azure Cost Management + Billing is used to proactively drive accountability within your organization. 

Budgets set on the AWS consolidated account and AWS linked account scopes. Here’s an example of a budget for an AWS consolidated account:
