AWS Data Exports now supports cross-account delivery

AWS today announced a new delivery option for AWS Data Exports, enabling FinOps teams to send Standard exports—including Cost and Usage Report 2.0 (CUR 2.0), FOCUS, Cost Optimization Recommendations, and Carbon Emissions reports—directly to any authorized AWS account’s Amazon S3 bucket. This capability eliminates the need for for customers to replicate the data across accounts or pay for duplicate storage.

With this launch, customers can now specify the destination S3 bucket in any AWS account when creating an export. The destination account owner controls which source accounts can deliver data through S3 bucket policies, so both accounts explicitly authorize where billing data flows. For example, a FinOps team can configure CUR 2.0 exports from their management account to flow directly into a centralized analytics account within their organization where their cost optimization tools reside, without building custom replication processes. This also supports the security best practice of keeping non-administrative workloads out of management accounts.

This feature is available in all commercial AWS Regions, except the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions and the China Regions.

To learn more about this feature, see AWS Data Exports and AWS Billing and Cost Management in the AWS Cost Management User Guide.
