Vertice Cloud Cost Optimization CloudFormation templates

This repository provides CloudFormation templates helping to configure Vertice Cloud Cost Optimization infrastructure in your account, including:

• an IAM role allowing Vertice platform to access your resources,
• an S3 bucket to store Cost and Usage Reports (CUR), and
• a Cost and Usage Report definition.

We also offer Terraform configuration of the same at VerticeOne/terraform-aws-vertice-integration, which supports a more fine-tuned configuration of permissions granted to Vertice in your account.

Using the template

The Vertice governance CloudFormation template is published to the following S3 address:

https://vertice-cco-cloudformation-templates.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/vertice-governance.yaml

To deploy it, create a new CloudFormation Stack, providing the URL above as the --template-url parameter (or Amazon S3 URL in the AWS console).

⚠️ Region selection

As documented in this upstream issue, the AWS CUR functionality is limited to the us-east-1 region. Therefore, we recommend deploying this template to that region to ensure smooth operation.

Parameters

Optional parameters
