Which permissions do I need to grant in S3 in order to sync from AWS Cost Usage Reports?
The CloudQuery integration only requires
PutObject permissions to sync to the S3 destination and we recommend that you grant only these permissions to CloudQuery in order to keep your setup as secure as possible. CloudQuery does not require access to your S3 cloud configuration settings, only permission to add objects to your S3 buckets.Can CloudQuery read from my credentials and config S3 files?
Yes, if you want CloudQuery to use these credentials, then the files need to be located in the
.aws directory of your home folder. The two files are almost identical in format but if there is a conflict, CloudQuery will prioritise the credential information that it reads from the credentials file over those found in config.What formats can CloudQuery load from AWS Cost Usage Reports to an S3 destination?
CloudQuery can load information in your choice of csv, parquet or json. This is specified in the format field.
