As an AWS or Azure partner with a reseller hierarchy in Abiquo, you can now enter partner customer credentials as "only for billing" to display their public cloud billing data on their Abiquo dashboards. This functionality was previously available in Abiquo for Azure, and it is now available for AWS too.
In AWS in version 6.0 this functionality only supports accounts that are customers of an AWS partner account.
If your customer has their own AWS account, please see Add a customer AWS account to Abiquo for billing only
In 6.0.0, in the AWS billing dashboard configuration for resellers and standard accounts, you must enter the new amazon_bucket_region enterprise property
To use this functionality, you must have a reseller enterprise with pricing credentials in the same scope or a parent scope.
You can enter the following public cloud credentials:
- For Amazon: The Access key ID is the customer's Account number from AWS
- If your customer is not a customer of your AWS partner account, to obtain billing data to display on customer's dashboard, please see Add a customer AWS account for billing only.
- For Azure: The Access key ID is the customer's Subscription and Tenant ID
To obtain billing data to display on the customer's dashboard, follow the instructions at: Add credentials of Azure reseller customers for billing only
For both types of accounts, for the Secret access key, enter a random password.
When you enter the credentials, mark the Only for billing checkbox. For customers with these credentials, there will be no compute access using Abiquo.
If users will not use the compute feature, you do not need to create an IAM user or an application, as for compute accounts.
