Azure

1. Grant access to billing records to the app role created in Azure for your account
2. Obtain the OfferDurableID from the offer agreement for your enterprise by going to your subscription → Administer. 
3. Also, obtain the Currency, Locale and RegionInfo.

Reference for Azure billing: https://docs.microsoft.com/es-es/azure/billing/billing-usage-rate-card-partner-solution-cloudyn 

Install and configure billing packages

You will need a server with MariaDB running with access to the Abiquo API, Abiquo database, and public cloud providers. 

...

Create the local billing databases and import schemas

AWS:

mysql -e "create database ec2_billing"
mysql -h -p -u ec2_billing < /opt/abiquo-billing-ec2/lib/app/schema.sql

Azure:

mysql -e "create database arm_billing"
mysql -h -p -u arm_billing < /opt/abiquo-billing-arm/lib/app/schema.sql

...

Grant privileges to a user for the local billing databases

Configure the billing packages, edit the config.yml file. By default for AWS, this is file is located at /opt/abiquo-billing-ec2/config/config.yml and the following example file shows the values that must replace.

abiquo_database:
  host: 10.10.10.36
  user: user
  password: password
  port: 3306
billing_database:
  host: 10.10.10.38
  user: user
  password: password
  port: 3306
abiquo:
  api_url: http://10.10.10.32/api
  user: admin
  password: xabiquo
  seed: 

...

1. The billing database is the one you created in the above steps, so it can be hosted on localhost

2. "seed" is the name of a custom seed that encrypts the Abiquo database. Copy the custom seed into the same directory as the config.yml file for each provider

...

• Configure the "billing_bucket" property, with a value of the name of the billing bucket you created

...

• OfferDurableID
• Currency, the default is "USD"
• Locale, the default is "en-US"
• RegionInfo, the default is "US"

...

To configure billing dashboards for providers, see provider pages:

• Display Amazon billing data
• Display Azure billing data
