Add AWS and Azure credentials only for billing

This document describes how AWS and Azure partners with reseller hierarchies can easily enter customer credentials as "only for billing".
This enables the customers to display public cloud billing data on their Abiquo dashboards.

As an AWS or Azure partner with a reseller hierarchy in Abiquo, you can now enter partner customer credentials as "only for billing".
This enables your customers 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

You can enter the following public cloud credentials:

For Amazon: The Access key ID is the customer's Account number from AWS

Enter the Access key ID which is the Account number for AWS
- For more details, see https://abiquo.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/doc/pages/311364317
- 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

Enter the Access key ID which is the subscription and tenant ID for Azure

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.
