# Connect AWS

> Pick the AWS path that matches your account layout, then add detailed cost data and Automated Savings when you want them.

Source: https://docs.levelfour.ai/connectors/aws


LevelFour reads your AWS costs through read-only IAM roles in your accounts. Both paths below create the same roles under predictable names, so you never copy an ARN back to LevelFour.

## Pick a path

| [Single account](/connectors/aws/single-account), if any of these is true | [Multi-account](/connectors/aws/multi-account), if all of these are true                          |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| You have one AWS account, or a few you onboard one at a time              | You use AWS Organizations with **all features** mode enabled                                      |
| You do not use AWS Organizations, or only for consolidated billing        | You want to onboard many member accounts at once, including future ones                           |
| You prefer to grant access to each account explicitly                     | You can deploy CloudFormation from the management account, or a delegated StackSets admin account |

## Then, when you want them

* [Detailed cost data](/connectors/aws/detailed-cost-data) adds resource-level detail and tag-based allocation from a Cost and Usage Report.
* [Virtual tags](/virtual-tags) group your AWS cost by team, product, or any other dimension, alongside your other providers. They read detailed cost data, so turn that on first.
* [Automated Savings](/connectors/aws/automated-savings) lets LevelFour apply a saving you accept, with access scoped to that change.
