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.

You can create budgets to control spending for one or more tenants and providers. The platform tests your budgets with your daily cost and usage data from the cloud provider. This is the same data that it displays on the billing dashboard widgets.  

When your costs pass a certain threshold, you can configure your budget to trigger one or more action plans. You might use this feature for a scenario such as “When our team has consumed 50 % of its budget amount in AWS, send an email to the System Administrator.”
