How to Set Up API Integration

This article explains the necessary steps to configure the automated purchasing of Savings Plans in Flow. You can log in to Flow using the same ID and password as your Wave account.

API Integration Procedure

Steps

  1. Log in to Flow. You can use the same ID and password that you use for Wave.

  2. Navigate to the "Integration" page from the menu on the left.

  3. On this page, you will see a list of accounts that are eligible to purchase Savings Plans. Accounts that have already been integrated via the API will also be displayed here.

  4. For the account you wish to integrate, click the ... icon in the "Actions" column.

  5. Review the displayed information and instructions carefully, then click the "Approve" button.

  6. An AWS CloudFormation page will open. Please review the configuration settings and, if there are no issues, proceed to approve and create the stack.

    • For simulation-only purposes, read-only permission for cost data is sufficient.

    • For actual automated purchasing, please add the permission to make purchases via the API (this is enabled by default in the template).

  7. Once the CloudFormation stack setup is finished, the integration is complete. Well done!
