Kubecost Flexera Exporter tool now supports service accounts

Note:This feature is available with Cloud Cost Optimization.

Previously, the Kubecost Flexera Exporter tool supported only refresh tokens to obtain access tokens—these are short-lived tokens that are included in requests to the Flexera One APIs.

Now, the tool also supports service accounts to access the Flexera One APIs. A service account is an application-specific credential used by an application to interact with the Flexera One APIs.

This feature gives you the flexibility to choose between using a refresh token or a service account for accessing the Flexera One APIs. For more information, see the following topics in the Flexera One Help:
