Feed: AWS Partner Network (APN) Blog. Author: Tod Golding. In traditional single-tenant environments, calculating and aggregating infrastructure costs is a pretty straightforward exercise. Typically, each application or customer has its own collection of dedicated resources and tallying the costs is simply a matter of categorizing and summing those costs. However, in multi-tenant software as a service (SaaS) environments, this becomes a much more challenging problem.With SaaS, tenants often share some or all of a system’s infrastructure resources. A database, for example, may hold all the data for all tenants. How, then, do you apportion costs to each tenant? This gets ... Read More

Feed: AWS Partner Network (APN) Blog. Author: Erin McGill. By Erin McGill. Erin is a Partner Solutions Architect (SA) at AWS. Throughout this series, we’ve talked about easing cross-account role creation with AWS CloudFormation and a custom stack URL.  We’ve also discussed how to dynamically generate CloudFormation templates to populate a unique external ID. But once your cross-account role is created, how does the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for the generated cross-account role in the customer account get back to your company’s onboarding portal? Asking the customer to cut and paste the output ARN is possible, but it’s a manual step ... Read More
