This guide introduces Abiquo’s public cloud integrations with a basic outline of reseller, compute, and FinOps features. |
Introduction to public cloud integrations
Abiquo public cloud integrations enable you to offer compute and FinOps capabilities for major cloud providers such as AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) and VMware Cloud Director (VCD) (on-premise or public).
Abiquo has a reseller model to support your offering of Azure CSP and Amazon partner services. You can easily create reseller accounts to easily onboard customers into public cloud services. For reseller customer accounts and for customers' own accounts, you can offer compute and/or billing features.
And you can incorporate your private cloud pricing and billing data to send out a single cloud bill!
Public cloud integrations
Abiquo’s public cloud integrations offer compute, networking, storage, and billing functionality in a single pane of glass and with Abiquo’s customer friendly user interface.
For more details, see the public cloud features support and integration pages.

Public cloud account use cases
Abiquo can manage reseller accounts for AWS and Azure.
You can add reseller credentials to the reseller enterprise and then manage customer accounts using the multicloud platform. You can use the create account feature to create customer accounts in the cloud providers and automatically add compute credentials to tenants in Abiquo. And from Abiquo you can create users in the cloud portal, and connect to the portal with a shortcut link. You can also allow your customers to add their own public cloud accounts.
Your customers can use public cloud with:
Compute functionality
Billing only
For more details, see Obtain public cloud credentials.
When you are using reseller accounts, you can apply a reseller markup (price factor) to the public cloud cost and usage data. You can then display billing data for the tenant hierarchy.
You can also offer compute, and add managed services, and limit access to public cloud functionality through Abiquo, for example, by offering read-only access with VDC roles.
Dashboard billing widgets
Your customers can track their public cloud spending with the dashboard widgets. These widgets display billing data from public cloud providers, such as AWS, Azure, Google, and OCI, as well as data from the private billing module.
The customer can compare the latest bills and the estimated bill from each provider.
You can configure the dashboard for reseller and partner accounts and their customers, as well as for accounts that were obtained directly from the provider. You will need to configure programmatic billing in your cloud provider account to enable Abiquo to access the cost usage data.
