Do I Need to Grant Access to My GovCloud Account?

Because AWS requires that every GovCloud account is associated with a commercial AWS payer account and the cost & usage data is passed back to that payer account, if Archera's IAM role is installed on the commercial payer account associated with your GovCloud account, it will be able to pull and process cost visibility data to enable platform features like:
Scenario planning/forecasting
Cost attribution/monitoring
Cloud inventory
...all without any direct access to your GovCloud environment.
To enable certain Archera features in your GovCloud environment — such as:
Automated commitment management
Detailed commitment visibility
Resource optimization recommendations
...you will be required to grant Archera's GovCloud account IAM access to your GovCloud environment.
Granting this additional access is optional. The platform will work for many use-cases (cost reporting, EDP planning, etc.) without Archera needing direct IAM access to your GovCloud environment. However, some key features like commitment optimization will not be available without this access.
What is the Archera AWS account ID? (includes GovCloud account IDs)
