Create or update a shared cost allocation policy

Create a shared cost allocation policy with  different allocation types to split the cost of shared cloud resources among various business lines.

Avant de commencer

• A cloud account (parent account) that has at least one service account and associated datacenters is required.
• A Billing Download job must be created and the billing data must be pulled.
• For Kubernetes, you must enable the cost allocation tag on your provider console for each Kubernetes cluster before you execute the Billing Download job.

Role required: insights_admin [sn_clin_core.insights_admin] or insights_owner [sn_clin_core.insights_owner] for owned service accounts.

Pourquoi et quand exécuter cette tâche

• You must select one of the Cloud Cost Management application scopes to create or update a shared cost allocation policy.
• You can create as many policies as needed.
• If Kubernetes Service is selected as Service Category, you can't edit the Service Category, Resource Type, Kubernetes Cluster fields while editing a policy.
• When you deactivate a shared cost allocation policy, allocations get updated with the latest policy match.

Procédure

1. Navigate to Workspaces > Cloud Cost Management Workspace > Operations > Administration.
2. Select Shared cost allocation policies.
3. Select New/Edit.
4. On the Shared Cost Allocation Policy Creation form, fill in the fields.

Résultats

After you create or modify a shared cost allocation policy, the policy gets displayed on the Shared Cost Allocation Policies page. Find the details of the policy such as the name, allocation type, business unit, and cloud service.

When the Discovery and Billing Download job executions finish, the system applies active policies to identify matching resources and then performs the policy actions on the resources.

After you create or update a shared cost allocation policy, select Reapply policies to apply the created policy to a resource.
