# Amazon Web Services cost tracking

Sumloop pulls Amazon Web Services cost on a schedule and puts it in the same ledger
as every other vendor a team pays.

## How to connect Amazon Web Services

1. In the AWS IAM console, create a user (or role) for Sumloop.
2. Attach a policy allowing `ce:GetCostAndUsage` (Cost Explorer read).
3. Enable Cost Explorer in Billing if it isn't already, then create an access key.
4. Paste the access key ID and secret access key below.
