Microsoft Azure

FinOps for Cloud supports both Azure tenants and individual Azure subscriptions. This topic describes how you can add your Azure data sources to the FinOps for Cloud platform.

Prerequisites

• Azure subscriptions are active.

• Required permissions are assigned. See Configure Azure Access for the Azure roles and permissions required to connect Azure to FinOps for Cloud.
