Azure MCA CSP now supports Cost Management API ingestion with scoped access
Note:This feature is available with Cloud Cost Optimization. If you would like this feature enabled, contact Flexera Support. For more information, see Contacting Flexera Support.
Important:Flexera One is migrating to new Azure Cost Management APIs to provide Cloud Solution Providers (CSPs) with the latest billing details for cost analysis. Using these APIs, Azure CSP Modern Commerce Agreement (MCA) cost and usage details are imported into Flexera One. These APIs will also enable visibility of Reserved Instances and Savings Plans. Your account manager will work with you to migrate to the Azure Cost Management APIs to maintain your Azure cost reporting in Flexera One and ensure a seamless transition.
With this migration, scoped exports for Azure MCA Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) bill connects are now available.
When creating a bill connect, you now have two options:
• | Cost Management API |
• | Exports |
The Exports method enables faster and more scalable data processing by using export-based ingestion rather than report-based ingestion.
Scoping is supported for both the Azure Cost Management API and Exports methods. CSPs can now create bill connects at various levels of granularity:
• | Billing Account |
• | Billing Profile |
• | Customer Tenant |
This functionality allows you to ingest cost and usage data only for the tenants or profiles you need, rather than all tenants under a billing account, providing more control and efficiency.
