Synchronize public cloud price lists
The platform can import hardware profile prices from public cloud for use in pricing.
The prices are for Linux instances with no pre-installed software
For AWS, the only currency available is US dollars.
Before you begin:
Check that there is a public cloud region for the provider. See Create a public cloud region.
Check that the tenant has a pricing model assigned. See Create a new pricing model
For Amazon regions, use US Dollars as the currency
If you are onboarding price lists for a customer of the CSP and/or reseller, go to Pricing → Price factors and create price factors to add markups or discounts to the cloud provider prices.
See https://abiquo.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ABI61/pages/652323966
Obtain credentials to retrieve pricing information from the provider.
For AWS pricing, an IAMS user must have the AWSPriceListServiceFullAccess permission. You can add the permission to the regular public cloud user account or create a separate user. See Obtain AWS credentials
For Azure, see Obtain Azure ARM credentials.
Check you have the pricing credentials in the right format. See Public cloud pricing credentials table below
To retrieve the hardware profile prices:
Add pricing credentials for the tenantÂ
From the username menu go to Edit credentials or go to Users → edit enterprise
Go to Credentials → Public (for compute or combined credentials in Amazon) or
Credentials → Pricing (for Azure or separate Amazon credentials)Enter the credentials
If the tenant is a CSP and/or reseller, go to Edit enterprise → Properties and enter the following properties with appropriate values:
azurecompute-arm_discount=0.2 amazon_discount=0
Note that CSP accounts return the prices with the discount factor applied, so the platform will not apply it again.
To configure a custom suffix of the discount properties, set abiquo.enterprise.property.discount.suffix in abiquo.properties. See Abiquo Configuration Properties#enterprise.When you save the tenant, if the pricing credentials are present, the platform will retrieve the prices.Â
Â
To display and edit the prices of public cloud hardware profiles:
Go to Pricing → edit pricing model.
Go to Resource Prices → select the public cloud region
For each hardware profile, enter a New price as required
Click Save
The platform will update the hardware profile prices from the public cloud provider every 24 hours.
To set a custom interval, set abiquo.pricing.import.check.delayInHrs in abiquo.properties. See Abiquo configuration properties#pricing
To prevent the platform from updating the prices from the public cloud provider, remove the pricing credentials
