Integrating Microsoft Azure data into cost management for Red Hat OpenShift

• Integrating account information from Microsoft Azure into the cost management service
• Monitoring cost data from different viewpoints

• Installed Microsoft Azure Red Hat Openshift
• Installed and configured the Cost Management Metrics Operator

Before beginning, you’ll need to prepare the following information by running commands from the Azure Cloud Shell.

Note: You must have a Red Hat account user with Sources Administrator entitlements before you can add integrations to cost management.

1. Run the following command to obtain the Tenant ID:

   1. az login
                                       az account list
                                       az account tenant list

2. Run the following command to obtain the Subscription ID:

   1. az account show --query "{ id: id }" | jq '.id' | tr -d '"')

3. Run the following command to create the Resource group. This resource group will be used for storage account and storing exported cost.

   1. az group create --name “openenv-jrf2q-sa-alireza” --location eastus

4. Run the following command to create the Storage account. This storage account will be used for storing exported cost files.

   1. az group create --name “costmgtsa” --location eastus

5. Run the following command to create a ServicePrincipal with a Cost Management Storage Account Contributor role.

   1. az ad sp create-for-rbac -n "CostManagement" --role "Storage Account Contributor" --scope /subscriptions/Subscription_ID/resourceGroups/ResourceGroup_Name '{"tenant": "tenant", "client_id": "appId", "secret": "password"}'

      Replace Subscription_ID and ResourceGroup_Name with your value. 
      
      Make a note of "client_id": appId, "secret": password, which will be used later in this document.

6.  Run the following command to create a Cost Management Reader Role:

   1. az role assignment create --assignee "appId" --role "Cost Management Reader" --scope "ResourceGroup"

7. To create the Azure cost export, log in to the Azure Portal and search “Cost export” in the Search box.
    

   

8. Fill in the requested information, and create the export.
    

   

   
   
   The export job will run daily and store the export file in the storage account for further processing by openshift cost management.

9. Run the following command to get the cost export you just created.

   1. AzureCost export scope

1. Log in to http://console.redhat.com.

2. Under All Services > Integrations and Notifications, click Integrations.
    

   

3. Click Settings > Integrations > Cloud > Add Integration.
    

   

4. Choose Microsoft Azure and click Next.
    

   

5. Use a unique integration name. Click Next.
    

   

6. Select Cost Management as your application. Click Next. 
    

   

7. In the Scope level, choose Subscription.
    

   

8. Fill the Resource group name and Storage account name with values you set in the prerequisites. Then, click Next.
    

   

9. To fill out the Cost export name, use the cost exports you created in the Prerequisites section. Click Next.
    

   

10. Fill in the Subscription ID field with information from the prerequisites. Click Next.
     

    

11. Fill in Tenant ID, Client ID and Secret from the value from the prerequisite steps. Click Next.

    1. Note: Skip running the az ad sp create-for-rbac and az role assignment commands. We have run them already in the prerequisites.
        

       

12. Review all details and click Add.
     

    

13. Confirm that your integration has been added.
     

    

14. From the Console, go to All services > Subscriptions and Spend > OpenShift > Cost Management. 
     

    

15. You should now be able to explore your Cost Management dashboard, including:

    1. All OpenShift costs:
        

       

    2. Infrastructure costs specific to Microsoft Azure:
        

       

        

       

    3. Infrastructure costs specific to Microsoft Azure on Red Hat OpenShift:
        

       

        

       

Note: If you see a “Still processing the data” message, you should wait up to 24 hours for data processing.

To ensure that all your settings are correct, you can follow these steps:

1. Under the OpenShift Console, go to Administrator > Operators > Installed Operators > costmanagement-metrics-operator.3.2.0 > CostManagementMetricsConfig details. 

2. Click the YAML tab and search for “last_successful_upload_time” to verify that your data is successfully uploading.
