Add the AWS integration

The integration gives Astrolabe an AWS access key. The card of Administration › Company connections describes it as AWS credentials for services such as Cost Explorer.

You do it once, as an administrator.

Before you start​

You need the 12-digit number of your AWS account, and an access key of an IAM user with read-only access. AWS shows the secret access key only once, when you create the key. This step was not checked on a live instance.
