Additional Costs for Using Cloud Compass with AWS

There could be additional costs for enabling Cloud Compass with AWS that only comes from outbound S3 traffic. This refers to data transferred from S3 buckets to external destinations, which will be charged according to AWS's standard S3 outbound data transfer rates.

Requirements

Ensure Active Cloud Trail

• Open the AWS Console and login to the relevant account

• Go to CloudTrail and in the left hand side menu select Trails

• Make sure the trail is in a Logging status

  

Grant Bucket Permissions

• Go to S3 Console and choose the relevant bucket based on the name of the S3 bucket in the Trails. You can also click on the bucket name from the previous image.

• Choose permission tab

  

• Go To Bucket Policy and click Edit

• 

  Add the following policy to the list:

  Policy

  {
    "Sid": "AllowEnv0ToReadCloudTrailEvents",
    "Effect": "Allow",
    "Principal": {
      "AWS": "arn:aws:iam::913128560467:role/env0-cloud-scanner"
    },
    "Action": [
      "s3:GetBucketLocation",
      "s3:GetObject",
      "s3:ListBucket"
    ],
    "Resource": [
      "arn:aws:s3:::<REPLACE-BY-BUCKET-NAME>",
      "arn:aws:s3:::<REPLACE-BY-BUCKET-NAME>/*"
    ]
  }
  

• Replace the placeholder <replace-by-bucket-name>with the bucket name.

• Click on the Save Changes button

Grant Decrypt Permission

• This requirement is only necessary if encryption is enabled on the trail.

• You can check if it is enabled by opening the trail and check if Log file SSE-KMS encryption is Enabled.

  

• If it is enabled, you should grant permission to the env0 role to decrypt the logs.

• Open the "KMS Key Policy" - by clicking on the key URL from the previous image.

  

• Click Edit, and add this policy to the list:

  Policy

  {
    "Sid": "AllowEnv0ToDecryptTrailLogs",
    "Effect": "Allow",
    "Principal": {
      "AWS": "arn:aws:iam::913128560467:role/env0-cloud-scanner"
    },
    "Action": "kms:Decrypt",
    "Resource": "*"
  }

Setting Up Bucket Configuration

Here you should specify account config including:

• Account name (for identification only)
• Bucket Name [1]
• Account ID [1]
• Prefix [1] (optional) - this should match the prefix (if specified) when configuring the s3 bucket. See AWS docs.
• Regions

[1] These fields are used to build the Scanned Bucket URL which will be used to fetch your cloud events.

Once you have created your account, env0 will start fetching historical data for the past 90 days.

The Insights tab will show that a data fetching run has started. This process might take a few minutes, depending on the amount of events we need to ingest.

Once the data is ready, you will be able to start exploring the dashboard insights. For more information about using the dashboard, click here.

env0 will now run on a daily basis to fetch new cloud activity, ensuring an accurate and up-to-date view of your cloud environment.
