Integrate with cloud platforms to enable CMP FinOps

On this page

• Cloud account data
• Cloud cost data

Cloud Management Platform (CMP) FinOps uses two types of data: cloud account data and cloud cost data. Before you can use CMP FinOps, you must set up two integrations with your cloud provider to retrieve this data.

Cloud account data

CMP FinOps uses cloud account data to help you manage and configure your cloud accounts.

You can set up the integration to retrieve cloud account data using Integration Studio, Service Management’s built-in integration platform.

Cloud cost data

CMP FinOps uses cloud cost data to provide cost visualizations and suggest improvements. This includes cloud cost governance reports, cloud insights, and cloud cost limits.

You can’t set up an integration to retrieve cloud cost data using Integration Studio, as CMP FinOps retrieves this data differently for each cloud provider. You must instead set up a Cloud Cost Data Provider in the Admin & Providers section of Service Management.
