ORIGINAL TEXT: Integrate with cloud platforms for CMP FinOps
To use the Cloud Management Platform (CMP) FinOps solution, firstly you need to retrieve cloud data from the cloud platforms that we support: Amazon Web Services (AWS), Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
The CMP FinOps solution uses two types of cloud data:
- Cloud billing data - The CMP FinOps’ cloud cost visualization and optimization functionalities, including cost governance reports, cloud insights, and cloud cost limits, are all based on the retrieved billing data.
- Cloud account data - The CMP FinOps account management functionality enables you to centrally manage cloud accounts of supported cloud platforms.
You need to set up two types of integrations to retrieve the cloud data:
- Cloud Cost Data Provider-based integrations that retrieve cloud billing data
- Integration Studio-based integrations that import cloud account data
See these topics for how to set up the integrations to retrieve cloud data from each cloud platform:
- Integrate with AWS for CMP FinOps
- Integrate with Azure for CMP FinOps
- Integrate with GCP for CMP FinOp

EDITED TEXT: Cloud platform integrations required by CMP FinOps
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.
