AWS Cost Explorer
Let AI connect your sources for you
Skip the manual setup — run this in your project and the wizard auto-detects your databases and APIs and connects them to PostHog.
Connect AWS Cost Explorer to PostHog to sync your data into the PostHog data warehouse for analysis and modeling.
Sync your AWS cost and usage data into the PostHog Data warehouse.
Create an IAM user or role with the ce:GetCostAndUsage, ce:GetReservationUtilization and ce:GetSavingsPlansUtilization permissions, then paste its access key ID and secret access key. Add a session token too if you are using temporary credentials.
Connect the management (payer) account to see spend across every member account. AWS charges $0.01 per Cost Explorer API request, so syncs ask for wide date ranges at a time.
