Introduction

This document describes the implementation of tools and necessary rights for Sopht to connect to a client's AWS cloud provider.

Basically, the Sopht’ AWS collector will gather CUR files on a S3 bucket, and push it to our Backbone.

This means that you will have to enable CUR generation files (if not already done), create a S3 bucket.

For Kubernetes, you will also have to activate Container insights, to get metrics data, also need for the calculation.
