Searching the Help

To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.

Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.

AWS_Demo and AWS CAPs

The purpose of the AWS_Demo and AWS Content Acceleration Packs (CAPs) is to provide a set of items (Scorecards, Contexts, KPIs, Metrics, and more) that automatically gathers information from across your enterprise to build key performance indicators (KPIs) related to Amazon Web Services-related issues with OOTB data from Data Warehouse as well as Dashboard pages that display the relevant information. The CAPs provide broad and deep insight that should enable you to Improve Staff Effectiveness, Improve Responsiveness, Achieve Process Excellence, Improve Quality of Delivery, and Improve Customer Satisfaction. This CAP provides a 360 degree AWS view.

The AWS_Demo is based on data in .csv files that are part of the CAP package.

Note To view data in the AWS-related reports, make sure you have installed BOE.

The relevant content pack is AWS. For details, see Integration with AWS.

During his daily work, he logs into ITBA and opens the AWS Billing page in the Dashboard to have an overall view of the IT organization spending.

In the AWS Billing Dashboard page, the KPI List View component show the latest month AWS cost, the previous month AWS cost, as well as the year-to-date AWS cost.

In addition, in the Historical View component, he can see the trend of his AWS cloud cost, and in the Forecast View component the upcoming 3 months AWS cost forecasting.

Below that, the three Cluster Bar Chart View components show the AWS cost broken down by service, account, and available zone. Using this information, Chris can analyze the AWS cost in the different layers to have more insight on the AWS cloud spending.
Then Chris opens the AWS EC2 Dashboard page for AWS EC2 usage and cost analysis.
