Onboard Azure CSP Customer Auto-RI to CloudHiro cost optimization platform
Please read until the end before you start.
This section extends the permissions needed for a customer running under a CSP, and wants to enable Automated RI management with CloudHiro.
Create a new subscription for our purchases. If you already have a subscription for purchases, you can use that one.
Grant Reservations Purchaser on the subscription you have created above.
Grant Reservations Reader at the tenant level to see all reservations purchased.
Please note - Auto-RI requires the billing export from the Azure onboarding guide (method A or B).
For CSP (Cloud Solution Provider) customers, please follow these additional steps:
Regular User Setup
On-top of the Service principal, we will need a regular user inside the customer Tenant:
- Grant reservations purchaser & reservations reader to the user
- Grant owner on all existing reservation-order to the user
CSP Permission Request
Please ask the CSP to enable you to buy reservations on your own in your subscriptions. More details here
Ongoing Reservation Management
Since all reservations are being done by CloudHiro, a regular user inside the Tenant should get the owner on each one of the new reservations to see them.
Important Note
These additional steps are specifically required for CSP customers to ensure proper reservation management and visibility within the CloudHiro platform.
We are done setting up. You can now ask your partner for a tour of CloudHiro and the CloudHiro visualizer.
