Creating a Bill Connect

Cloud Cost Optimization ingests billing data provided by major cloud providers and enables you to allocate costs, identify waste, and perform detailed analysis of your child organizations cloud spend. To begin splitting billing costs among your child organizations, you first need to ingest billing data from supported cloud vendors.

You can add and set up cloud bills from the Billing Configuration page (Cloud > Administration > Billing Configuration) or by using the Cloud Cost Optimization API for Bill Connects. For more information about Bill Connects, see Bill Data Connections in the Flexera One Cloud Cost Optimization help.

The Cloud Cost Optimization API Capabilities provide full control of bill data configuration, and can be used to automate connections or credential rotation using a REST-compliant interface. The BillConnects resource provides a list of billing data configurations while cloud-specific resources are used for creating, updating, and removing billing data configurations.
