Connect your cloud accounts to CloudYali for unified cost visibility, optimization recommendations, budget alerts, and automatic anomaly detection. CloudYali supports the following providers:

Supported Providers​

Amazon Web Services (AWS)​

Set up a cross-account IAM Role via CloudFormation — no credentials to manage.

Google Cloud Platform (GCP)​

Create a service account, enable billing APIs, and configure BigQuery export.

Microsoft Azure​

Create a Service Principal, configure Cost Management exports, and connect to CloudYali. Supports Pay-as-You-Go, MCA, and Enterprise Agreement accounts.

Anthropic​

Connect your Anthropic API account for cost tracking, workspace attribution, and usage analytics.

Fastly​

Track CDN costs with service-level breakdowns, regional usage analytics, and product cost analysis.

Databricks​

Track Databricks DBU costs, cluster inventory, and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) by correlating Databricks billing with AWS infrastructure costs.

Frequently Asked Questions​

Can I onboard multiple accounts?​

Yes. CloudYali supports multi-account setups for all providers. Follow the respective guide for each account you want to connect.

When will my cost data be available?​

  • AWS: Typically within 1-2 hours
  • GCP: Typically within 4-24 hours
  • Azure: Typically within 24 hours
  • Anthropic: Typically within 1-2 hours
  • Fastly: Typically within 15 minutes
  • Databricks: Typically within 24-48 hours (Databricks system tables have up to 24 hours of lag)

What happens to my credentials?​

All credentials are encrypted and stored securely. AWS uses IAM Role ARNs (no keys needed). GCP JSON keys, Azure Service Principal credentials, Anthropic Admin API keys, Fastly API tokens, and Databricks Service Principal credentials are encrypted with AES-256 and stored in AWS Secrets Manager. No secrets are stored in plaintext.

What permissions does CloudYali require?​

CloudYali follows a minimal-permissions principle — only read-only access needed for cost and resource data. See each provider's onboarding guide for the specific permissions required.
