AWS Marketplace Automation
In order to be able to manage Marketplace Subscriptions for a whole AWS organization in one account - to help the purchase department with their daily work and prevent contracts from being concluded without them, we developed a solution that will enable multi-account managing of marketplace subscriptions trough a whole AWS organization.
The solution will take care of new accounts added, existing ones which are SUSPENDED or when the specific tag for licences is updated in one account - that every existing licence will be shared or removed from that account.
⚠️ The API is currently very slow - when we were removing 2 licenses in around 20 accounts it was taking us 1-2 hours.
ℹ️ - You cannot share a license which is already existing in the target account.
TagResource: Will trigger an update of one account only. Python will grab the specific changed parameter for Licence Management from the requestParameters of the presented CloudTrail event.
ListReceivedGrants: After subscribing to a new product in AWS Marketplace a ListReceivedGrants from AWSMarketPlaceSession will be invoked - this event will trigger the automation to update all accounts to share / revoke access to the new product.
The following policy will take care that only the purchase department is able to subscribe to new Marketplace products (or unsubscribe old products).
