Enabling Azure Billing Data
Grant AIM permissions to view billing data in Azure
To enable the billing feature in DuploCloud for Microsoft Azure, you must assign the Billing Reader role to the DuploCloud master VM (DuploMaster
), restart the VM to apply the change, verify that the billing service is running, and then enable billing in the DuploCloud Portal.
Step 1. Assign the Billing Reader Role
Follow the Azure documentation to assign a role using the Azure portal.
When assigning the role:
Scope: Assign the role to the VM named
DuploMaster
.Role: Select Billing Reader.
Identity: Choose the system-assigned or user-assigned managed identity associated with the VM.
Step 2. Restart the VM
After assigning the role, restart the DuploMaster
VM so the role assignment takes effect.
Refer to Restart a virtual machine in Azure for detailed instructions.
Step 3. Enable Billing in DuploCloud
To complete the setup:
From the DuploCloud Portal, navigate to Administrator > Billing.
On the right side of the page, click Enable Billing Feature.
Billing data will be displayed as it becomes available from Azure.
