[POC] PierCloud FinOps Platform - Oracle Cloud Basic Configurations

Basic Configuration Process for Pier Cloud FinOps Platform

Welcome to Pier Cloud!

This document is intended to be a guide for you to prepare the environment so that Pier Cloud can install the Platform modules in your account.

The entire process will allow Pier Cloud to only read information, without any possibility of changing or deleting data from your account.

Configuring access to the billing report

1. Access the URL https://cloud.oracle.com/ and log in as Administrator.

2. In the side menu, click on Identity & Security and then on Policies.

Note: To perform this procedure, you must have the root 0 profile and access to the “Default (Current domain)” domain.

1. Create the policy that grants billing access to the piercloud group. Enter the following statements:

• define tenancy usage-report as ocid1.tenancy.oc1..aaaaaaaaned4fkpkisbwjlr56u7cj63lf3wffbilvqknstgtvzub7vhqkggq

• endorse group piercloud to read objects in tenancy usage-report

• allow group piercloud to inspect tenancies in tenancy

• allow group piercloud to inspect compartments in tenancy

1. When finished you will see the screen below:

1. Click on Identity and then on Domains (Current domain) and select the domain.

1. With the domain selected, click on Groups and create a new group with the name piercloud. In the form we have the option to add a user, but since we don't have one yet, we can just create the group.

1. In this step, we will create the user who will have access to the billing reports.

In Identity, click on Users and fill out the form with the requested information. In this form, you can add the user that is being created to a group. Select the piercloud group that was created in the previous step.

1. After creating the user, you need to generate an access key.

Click on API Keys, then Add API Key. Download the private key and then click on the Add button.

1. After creating the access key, the page below will be displayed. Copy the generated data to perform the configuration on the PierCloud platform.

1. Access the PierCloud platform https://lighthouse.piercloud.com.br and click on Settings.

1. Click on Secrets in the side menu and then click on the Add button to create a new secret for Oracle Cloud billing.

Fill in a friendly name for the secret and choose the Billing Connector Credential - OCI type.

1. Once this process is complete, we need the following information to be shared via email:

   • Region

   • User

   • Fingerprint

   • Tenancy

   Private Key: The Private Key field should contain the value of the .pem key that you downloaded in step 8.

That's it! Your OCI Billing Connector has been successfully configured.
