 With Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cost and Usage report (CUR) integration, you monitor and control your AWS spending in Cost Management. The integration allows a single location in the Azure portal where you monitor and control spending for both Azure and AWS. This article explains how to set up the integration and configure it so that you can use Cost Management features to analyze costs and review budgets.
 
 Cost Management processes the AWS Cost and Usage report stored in an S3 bucket by using your AWS access credentials to get report definitions and download report GZIP CSV files.
