Would like to understand Cloud Cost Management support for OCI. Though OOB it appears AWS, Azure & GCP are the cloud providers supported for CCM. Can someone advise if it's possible to get OCI CCM implemented. Do understand OCI discovery is supported and 'Cloud providers' table has got "OCI" as well - but in the table I do notice active endpoints available only for AWS, Azure & GCP.

 

Experts - Though we have enabled OCI discovery ,need suggestion on the possibility to have OCI CCM accomplished. 

 

Thanks!!

I provided you above community link and PDF to follow the Service Account setup, not the cloud provisioning setup because Service Account setup is not very clearly explained in the docs (That is why I mentioned in my comment, "All of it may not be of your use..."). Follow the steps from the above PDF to "only" understand on "how to create a Service Account" and "how to Discover Datacenters" or related cloud infra or resources from your OCI.

Next - "how to setup Endpoints for OCI that has no Endpoints in OCI record in 'Cloud Providers' table . (As you mentioned active endpoints are not there for OCI. It is only available for Azure, AWS and GCP)


It looks like you are not reading any docs properly. ServiceNow Docs has the Endpoint details mentioned in the Excel sheet, for which they have hyperlinked a URL to download the excel file and follow the examples to create your own based on your current configuration. I am attaching that too for your reference. Also see the snip below on how it looks.

And about your FinOps - that will only work when you have finished configuring Service Account and have finished discovering the data from your OCI.
Post your configuration and setup completion the CCM Workspace will show the info like snip below.

Attaching demo data snips from my PDI.

Thanks for your efforts on your expertise while me being a newbie here .

 

I still see the attached workbook is for discovery patterns and references provided were on  provisioning & discovery. In fact in the current release OCI discovery is supported by default with not us had to enable manually.

We have discovery in place for OCI  and modelled in CMDB.

Though discovery must be enabled for CCM (which is a pre-requisite) , CCM has to be configured for the cost data /analytics to reflect in the dashboard. Such config UI, I do not find one for OCI ; Reflects back to the below OOB tables:

AWS Billing Download Job : sn_cld_intg_aws_schedule
Google Billing Download Job : sn_cld_intg_gcp_schedule
Azure Billing Download Job : sn_cld_intg_azure_schedule

 

Thanks for the screenshot from your PDI , it reflects cost management for AWS which is supported. Initial ask is would we be able to have such controlled OCI cost data analytics achieved having customized? 

 

Thanks,

Lakshmi.
