  • 1.  AWS MAP Credits Allocation

    Posted Wed September 21, 2022 05:23 PM
    Hello Community,

    We have an LOB that is leveraging AWS Migration Acceleration Program. When involved in a MAP, there are credits that are issued to the organization by AWS. The challenge we have encountered is, MAP credits are issued to the master payer account rather than the member accounts. 

    Using CLDY or other method, have any community members worked on a solution to allocate credits from the payer account back to the member accounts (LOB) who is enrolled into a MAP?  I'd love to chat more about options if you can share.

    Note: In CLDY I can run a report filtered on Transaction Type = Credit and Item Description contains 'MAP' to collect the data but unfortunately this is displayed under the payer account.

    You can try the cost sharing feature under business mappings: 

    1. create a business mapping for the shared costs and assign the credits to that shared cost category
    2. share the costs to the accounts

    The cost sharing feature allows you to distribute the costs evenly, proportional or by fixed percentages. If you want to apply a more advanced cost allocation you can use a business metric or the Cloudability TotalCost addon for even more advanced cost allocations.
