Cloudability Connect IBM Cloud
You can connect your IBM Cloud account to Cloudability to
enable the ingestion of cost and usage data.
Note:
It takes 4 to 24 hours before your initial cost and usage data appears in Cloudability. This depends on how long it takes IBM Cloud to generate your first billing reports. In the meantime, you’ll see a message indicating the process is not yet complete.
Two ways to connect
There are two methods to connect your IBM Cloud account to Cloudability :
- Cloudability method: A Terraform script is provided for credentialing which would be API-key based.
- Deployable Architecture (DA) app method: IBM Cloud team has introduced the Deployable Architecture (DA) app called 'IBM Cloudability Enablement', using which you can credential your IBM Cloud account in Cloudability. This is the preferred method for credentialing IBM Cloud as the app helps speed up the process.
