Within the new enhancements included, the billing dashboard can display data for the new Google Cloud integration by simply using the provider pricing credentials of the cloud provider.

In addition, the budgets feature now uses daily cost usage data from the provider, instead of consolidated bills, which makes it more flexible and responsive since the budget consumption is updated more frequently. 

This feature supports standard accounts and partner accounts for Amazon, Azure (CSP and Azure Plan accounts), and Google Cloud Platform.

For resellers and other hierarchical allocation of costs, the configuration and organization of billing details has been enhanced too. Configuration is now simpler including a new customized configuration for tenant properties. Abiquo’s platform can separate the tenants’ billing data from the data from above it in the hierarchy, for better management of the different prices in the hierarchy. 

We have also speeded up the configuration process to schedule the download of the billing data from the providers. This, with the other public cloud bill download and consolidation features, means that system administrators can deliver a consistent, automatically updated set of billing data to their own organization and those in any hierarchical organization design, such as reseller models, cross-charging projects and business units, or to external customers.
