4.6. Configure AWS billing correlation

Metering can correlate cluster usage information with AWS detailed billing information, attaching a dollar amount to resource usage. For clusters running in EC2, you can enable this by modifying the example aws-billing.yaml file below.

apiVersion: metering.openshift.io/v1
kind: MeteringConfig
metadata:
  name: "operator-metering"
spec:
  openshift-reporting:
    spec:
      awsBillingReportDataSource:
        enabled: true
        # Replace these with where your AWS billing reports are
        # stored in S3.
        bucket: "<your-aws-cost-report-bucket>" 1
        prefix: "<path/to/report>"
        region: "<your-buckets-region>"

  reporting-operator:
    spec:
      config:
        aws:
          secretName: "<your-aws-secret>" 2

  presto:
    spec:
      config:
        aws:
          secretName: "<your-aws-secret>" 3

  hive:
    spec:
      config:
        aws:
          secretName: "<your-aws-secret>" 4

To enable AWS billing correlation, first ensure the AWS Cost and Usage Reports are enabled. For more information, see Turning on the AWS Cost and Usage Report in the AWS documentation.

apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: <your-aws-secret>
data:
  aws-access-key-id: "dGVzdAo="
  aws-secret-access-key: "c2VjcmV0Cg=="

To store data in S3, the aws-access-key-id and aws-secret-access-key credentials must have read and write access to the bucket. For an example of an IAM policy granting the required permissions, see the aws/read-write.json file below.

            ]
        }
    ]
}

                "s3:ListBucket",
                "s3:ListMultipartUploadParts",
                "s3:PutObject"
            ],
            "Resource": [
                "arn:aws:s3:::operator-metering-data/*", 3
                "arn:aws:s3:::operator-metering-data" 4
            ]
        }
    ]
}

This can be done either pre-installation or post-installation. Disabling it post-installation can cause errors in the Reporting Operator.
