If you are looking for documentation about integrations for Hybrid Committed Spend, integrations support has been deprecated.

1.1. Understanding hybrid committed spend
Copy link

Hybrid committed spend is a service in the Red Hat toolchain that enables your organization to automate the tracking of hyperscaler drawdown spending with select hyperscalers. Hybrid committed spend automatically aggregates and processes data which reduces the need for manual reporting.

When you configure hybrid committed spend, the Red Hat cloud spend integration toolchain processes all of your organization’s hyperscaler spend for the configured account. The data is then sent to a secure system that is part of Red Hat’s financial data processing servers. It will be used to calculate hyperscaler drawdown against your commitment. Data is only collected for the purpose of calculating hyperscaler drawdown and spend tracking. It is not shared internally or externally.

Red Hat employs technical and organizational measures designed to protect your data. No development engineer has access to view the customer data directly. Outside of the cloud integration toolchain, data analysis only occurs for the purpose of debugging.

1.3. Accessing hybrid committed spend
Copy link

You can access hybrid committed spend from Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console.

To access and use hybrid committed spend, your organization must sign a hybrid committed spend agreement with Red Hat. This agreement enables you to share data with Red Hat to calculate drawdown.

If you are unable to access hybrid committed spend from Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console, first identify if your organization signed a hybrid committed spend contract and that your account has HCS viewer permissions. For more information, contact your Red Hat sales or support representative.
