You can utilize the Automated option to quickly setup your Cost and Usage Report (CUR) in your management account(s) listed in your Migration Plan and generate a Server ID that you will be using to tag your MAP eligible workload.
With the Automated option, you use a CloudFormation template that creates the necessary resources and configuration in your account to correctly setup your Cost and Usage Report (CUR) for MAP.
The following steps should be used when configuring CUR your AWS account for the first time, with a single Migration Plan MPE number. For multiple Migration Plan MPE numbers, please add the additional accounts later using the manual process listed here.
MPE
followed by the MPE number. MPE
is case sensitive and must be upper case. E.g. MAP12345
The CUR should have now been created. To confirm, go to Services > Billing > Cost & Usage Reports. You should see a map-migrated-report report name.
Only 1 (one) CUR with the prefix map-migrated should exist in the management (payer) account. Having multiple CUR with prefix map-migrated will disrupt the credit calculation.
In the next 24 hours, your first report will be delivered to the Amazon S3 bucket you configured during the report creation.
Step 1 - Setup CUR & Generate ServerID is completed! Please move forward to Step 2 - Activating Tags
