Welcome to the NET+ Amazon Web Services (AWS) wiki.
Many Internet2 member institutions take advantage of this service offering. If your institution is one of them then this wiki will provide details on how to make the most of your participation of the programming and interact with peers across Internet2 member institutions.
This program is open to all Internet2 higher education, affiliate and federal affiliate members as well as non-member higher education institutions. If you are looking details on how to join the program, please visit the Sign Up Tab of the NET+ AWS webpage.
You can also find out more about the Internet2 Cloud Connect offering for AWS Direct Connect.
The NET+ AWS community team is happy to announce integration of Control Tower functionality with NET+ AWS, and feature parity with direct-deployed Control Tower implementations. NOTE: Control Tower requires the set up a completely new Organization, and does not currently support merging multiple Organizations so if you have existing AWS accounts we are recommending either deploying Landing Zones, or waiting until the AWS feature launch of existing account migrations (expected for the second half of 2019). Please reach out to netplus@internet2.edu if you would like to join the Control Tower Beta.
Now that more than 20 campuses have deployed AWS Organizations through the NET+ AWS program, we are officially declaring AWS Organizations generally available. Community members have developed the set of knowledge base articles below and are creating a set of recommended Service Control Polices (SCPs) in the Community Cloud Config GitHub organization. Please reach out to cloud@dlt.com if you would like to deploy an AWS Organization.

AWS Organizations
New Accounts created through Organizations do not include Support by default. To change this to DLT Business Support, follow the instructions in How To - Change AWS Support Option
To prevent DLT from getting 1000 credit memos for the Data Egress Fee Waiver (DEFW) payer, the discount is built into the utilization invoice. For Universities that have their own Payers, AWS is billing utilization at MSRP and then giving us credit memos for DEFW which is shown on the face of the invoice submitted to the customer. Does not appear on backup file. Does appear in CloudCheckr.
