Requirements
AWS
To tag your AWS resources from CloudAware, download CloudAware Tagging policy: Admin → AWS Accounts → ADD AMAZON ACCOUNT → Using Access & Secret Keys → select Tagging in 'Please use one of those'. Review and apply the policy.
Azure
To tag your Azure resources from CloudAware, create a custom role in your Azure portal using CLI or Rest API. The role should include a 'modify' permission granted for all resource types (e.g. Azure Virtual Machine) you would like to be able to tag in CloudAware. Assign the role to CloudAware.
GCP
Billing Tags: Google Google Cloud Platform does not provide the cost data split by instance out of the box. In order for CloudAware to display the cost on an instance level, every GCE instance in your environment needs to have a tag a tag (e.g. “instance-name: actual-name-of-this-instance”) applied.
