Hi, everyone, and welcome back.
Now, in the earlier video, we were discussing about the benefits of the config aggregator and also
on how it allows us to collect the config data across multiple accounts.
So in today's video, we'll go ahead and have a quick practical walkthrough to understand the steps
required to set up the config aggregator.
Now for today's video, I have two eight accounts in the first account that you see over here.
We will be enabling the aggregator and in the second account, which is called as the sandbox account
here, the config is already enabled.
So you see we are seeing a lot of resources as part of the overall inventory.
So this account is where our aggregator will collect the data from.
So let's do one thing in our account.
Number one, we'll go ahead and we'll quickly set up the eight of US config.
Now in case if you do not have config enabled for the secondary account, you can also enable it quickly
and wait for the resource inventory to be completed.
All right.
So once the config is enabled, what you can do is you can go to the aggregators here.
Let's quickly create an aggregator.
Let's just call it as demo aggregator.
And within here you have two options.
You can either add the individual account IDs or you can add your organization.
We'll select the individual account IDs.
So let's do one thing for our sandbox account.
Let's copy the account ID here.
Let's add the account ID.
In the region.
Let's select the region.
There are multiple regions.
I'll be selecting the Singapore region where the config is already enabled.
So in the sandbox account I am in the Singapore region where you see all of the resource inventories
already present.
So this is the region that I'll be selecting here once.
Then you can go ahead and create the aggregator.
Now one more thing that you have to keep a note of that this aggregator is in the North Virginia region.
So if you'll open up the aggregator at this stage, the status is incomplete.
So from the sandbox account, you can go to the authorization and here you can quickly enable the authorization.
You have to add the aggregator account ID.
So let's face the aggregator account ID, let's add here and the aggregator region.
So aggregator region here would be North Virginia.
I'll add the authorization here.
All right.
The authorization status is authorized.
And if things are working well, you should see the status to be updated.
So let's refresh.
And on a refresh here, you see the status is now OC.
Now note that after authorization it can also take 15 to 20 minutes for the status to be changed.
So you have to wait accordingly.
Once the status is OC, when you look into the resources over here, let's go to the page number three
for an example.
Here you have an easy two instance which is running in the southeast one region.
It also shows you the account which is 555, which is nothing but the sandbox account.
You'll also find all the details associated with the EC two instance here.
So let's also verify c1c if in our config of sandbox account, let's switch to the EC two console.
You have one easy to instance that is running, which is C, one, C, F grade.
So I hope with this you understood about the config aggregator from a practical point of view, and
with this will conclude today's video.
