AWS CUR 2 Export Setup for Spotter

AWS CUR 2 Export Setup

This guide describes how to configure AWS Cost and Usage Report (CUR) 2.0 export for integration with Spotter.

1. Create Data Export

Navigate to Billing and Cost Management → Data exports → Create.

Export details

Select type: Standard data export
Export name: spotter-cur-2

Data table content settings

Select: CUR 2.0
Additional export content:
Include resource IDs
Split cost allocation data
Time granularity: Daily

Data export delivery options

Compression type and file format: Parquet - Parquet
File versioning: Overwrite existing data export file

Data export storage settings

Use or create an S3 bucket to store exports.
The S3 bucket policy must allow Spotter to fetch the data.
After creating the export, edit the bucket policy to include the following blocks:

CODE

{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Sid": "AllowLambdaToRead",
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Principal": {
        "AWS": [
          "arn:aws:iam::604877540157:role/aws-cur-ingestion",
          "arn:aws:iam::730660357973:role/aws-cur-ingestion"
        ]
      },
      "Action": [
        "s3:ListBucket",
        "s3:GetObject"
      ],
      "Resource": [
        "<s3-bucket-arn>",
        "<s3-bucket-arn>/*"
      ]
    },
    {
      "Sid": "AllowLinkedAccountsToReadAndWrite",
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Principal": {
        "AWS": [
          "arn:aws:iam::730660357973:role/Cloud2Admin",
          "arn:aws:iam::604877540157:role/Cloud2Admin"
        ]
      },
      "Action": [
        "s3:ListBucket",
        "s3:GetObject",
        "s3:PutObject",
        "s3:DeleteObject"
      ],
      "Resource": [
        "<s3-bucket-arn>",
        "<s3-bucket-arn>/*"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

S3 path prefix: e.g. spotter

2. Verify Export

After creation, confirm exports appear in the configured bucket.
Expected path format:
s3://<bucket-name>/<prefix>/<export-name>/data/BILLING_PERIOD=YYYY-MM/
Notes:
It may take up to 24 hours for data to appear.
If exports do not appear, ensure AWS permissions to write into the bucket were not removed when adding Spotter read permissions.

3. Deliver S3 URI to Spotter Team

Once exports are working, send the S3 bucket URI to Team Spotter.
Example URI:
s3://<bucket-name>/<prefix>/<export-name>
