A Terraform module to set up an AWS cross-account link for Infracost Cloud. This gives Infracost read-only access to AWS APIs to fetch recommendations from AWS Compute Optimizer. This needs to be run against your AWS management account to enable access to recommendations, cost, usage and pricing data, as well as all member accounts to enable read-only access to a limited set of resources that can be used to augment the recommendations with additional context.

• You have an AWS account
• You need your Infracost Cloud organization ID - find this in the Org Settings of Infracost Cloud

1. Use the module with is_management_account = true to create the cross account role on your management account. Pass the infracost_external_id variable (which points to your Infracost organization ID) to the module.

   provider "aws" {
     alias  = "management_account"
     region = "us-west-2"
   }
   
   module "infracost_management_account" {
     source                     = "github.com/infracost/cross-account-link?ref=v0.5.0"
     infracost_external_id      = "INFRACOST_ORGANIZATION_ID"
     is_management_account      = true
     providers = {
       aws = aws.management_account
     }
   }
   
   output "infracost_management_account_cross_account_role_arn" {
     value = module.infracost_management_account.role_arn
   }

2. Use the module with is_management_account = false to create the cross account role on all member accounts. As above, pass the infracost_external_id variable (which points to your Infracost organization ID) to the module.

   provider "aws" {
     alias  = "member_account_1"
     region = "us-west-2"
   }
   
   module "infracost_member_account_1" {
     source                     = "github.com/infracost/cross-account-link?ref=v0.3.0"
     infracost_external_id      = "INFRACOST_ORGANIZATION_ID"
     is_management_account      = false
     providers = {
       aws = aws.member_account_1
     }
   }
   
   output "infracost_member_account_cross_account_role_arns" {
     value = [
       module.infracost_member_account_1.role_arn
     ]
   }

3. Run terraform init and terraform apply to create the cross account role in all AWS accounts.

4. Email the infracost_management_account_cross_account_role_arn and infracost_member_account_cross_account_role_arns outputs to Infracost:

When new FinOps policies or features are added, this module may need to be updated to include the new permissions. We will notify you when this is the case so you can update the version of the module.
