We're still working on this feature, but we'd love for you to try it out!
This feature is currently provided as part of a preview program pursuant to our pre-release policies.
Use the automated AWS CloudFormation template to accelerate your Cloud Cost Intelligence setup. The pre-configured stack automatically provisions the required AWS environment, including S3 bucket configuration, CUR export settings, Trusted Advisor settings check, and necessary IAM roles and policies. Review all resource permissions in the AWS CloudFormation console before deploying.
Cost considerations
The template automatically creates an S3 bucket for CUR data ingestion. The default region is us-east-2, but you can change this using the CloudFormation parameters to match your infrastructure needs.
Setup instructions
Access Cloud Cost Intelligence in New Relic
Navigate to one.newrelic.com > Integrations & Agents > Cloud Cost Intelligence - AWS.
Choose CloudFormation automation
Select Automate AWS with CloudFormation (Recommended) and click Continue.
Launch CloudFormation in AWS
- Confirm your connection name and select your New Relic data region.
- Click Launch your CloudFormation in AWS.
- Log in to your AWS account with Admin role when prompted. The CloudFormation Stacks screen opens in the AWS console.
Configure stack parameters
In the Create Stack form, configure the following parameters:
Pre-populated parameters (do not modify):
- New Relic Account ID: Pre-populated. Do not change.
- New Relic Data Region: Pre-populated. Do not change.
- External ID: Pre-populated. Do not change.
Required parameters:
- NewRelicAPIKey: Enter your New Relic API key. Generate this in the New Relic UI: User menu > API Keys.
- Stack Name: Default value provided. Edit if needed, but ensure the name is globally unique across all AWS CloudFormation stacks. We recommend keeping the default value.
- Bucket Name: Default value provided. Edit if needed, but ensure the name is globally unique across all S3 buckets.
- Connection Name: Default value provided. Edit if needed for your naming conventions.
Optional parameters:
Grant Access to Trusted Advisor: Defaults to Yes. When enabled, allows checking if Trusted Advisor cost insights is enabled for your account and retrieves recommendations. If you choose No or Trusted Advisor is not enabled, Trusted Advisor recommendations will not be available.
重要
CCI Native Recommendations are independent of Trusted Advisor and will work regardless of this setting.
All other parameters are optional and can be configured as needed.
Create the stack
Select I acknowledge that AWS CloudFormation might create IAM resources and click Create stack.
Verify stack creation
When the stack creation completes successfully, the status displays CREATE_COMPLETE.
Verify CUR report generation
Wait 24 hours, then verify that a CUR report in parquet format appears in your AWS bucket.
重要
The path below is an example. Your actual path will have different timestamps, UUIDs, and billing periods.
Amazon S3 > Buckets > bucket_name > cost-and-usage-reports/ > bucket_name-cci/data > BILLING_PERIOD=2025-12/ > 2025-12-24T03:05:19.886Z-a2e23b2a-588a-4305-97fd-be712f555b75/ > bucket_name-cci-00001.snappy.parquet
Your integration setup is complete.
Limitations
The automated CloudFormation template does not:
- Create or configure any compute or network resources.
- Enable any additional AWS service or update the support level.
- Automate the process of ingesting Logs, Traces and any other metrics.
- Create any write access roles or policies.
Configured policies and permissions
The automated stack configures the following access levels:
- Billing Data Access: Read-only permission to the specific S3 bucket created for storing Cost and Usage Reports.
- Service Pricing Access: Read-only access to the AWS Pricing API to correlate your usage with public rates.
- Configuration Automation: Limited permissions required to generate the CUR exports and verify the integration status during the setup phase.
- Optional Optimization Access: (If selected) Read-only access to AWS Trusted Advisor to surface cost-saving recommendations.
