+# Cloud Intelligence Dashboards Terraform Deployment
+
+This repository contains Terraform configurations for deploying AWS Cloud Intelligence Dashboards (CID) using CloudFormation templates as wrappers.
+
+## Deployment Methods
+
+### 1. Manual Deployment
+Deploy resources in the following order:
+
+1. `data_exports_child` in Destination Account (Child/Linked Account)
+2. `data_exports_management` in Payer Account (Management/Org Master Account)
+3. `cudos_dashboard` in Destination Account (Child/Linked Account)
+
+### 2. CICD Pipeline Deployment
+Use the configurations in the `cicd-deployment` directory with appropriate provider configurations for each account.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Complete QuickSight setup and other requirements as per [CID Framework workshop](https://catalog.workshops.aws/awscid/en-US)
+- Configure necessary IAM permissions in both AWS accounts
+- Review and update all required variables
+
+## Configuration
+
+You can configure the deployment using either:
+- Direct modification of `variables.tf`
+- Creating `terraform.tfvars` (recommended)
+
+### Variable Management
+- Global variables are shared across multiple resources
+- Resource-specific variables are grouped by resource
+- Follow [CID Framework workshop](https://catalog.workshops.aws/awscid/en-US) guidelines for variable values
+
+## Deployment Verification
+
+After each resource deployment, verify:
+1. Check outputs displayed after terraform apply
+2. Verify CloudFormation stacks in respective AWS accounts
+   - Ensure correct region is selected
+   - Review stack status and resources
+   - Check for any error messages
+
+## Important Notes
+
+- Ensure resources are deployed in the specified order
+- Provider configurations in CICD deployment must specify correct target accounts
+- Follow AWS Well-Architected best practices
