Alibaba Cloud

Connect Alibaba Cloud to bring billing and resource inventory data into CloudVerse AI.

What you get

• Billing data from Alibaba Cloud billing exports
• Resource inventory across regions and services
• Cost analysis and anomaly detection per account

Prerequisites

• Alibaba Cloud account with billing access
• Access Key ID and Secret with the required permissions

Connect Alibaba Cloud

1. Go to Settings > Integrations.
2. Select Alibaba Cloud.
3. Enter a connection name — for example, alibaba-production.
4. Enter your Access Key ID and Access Key Secret.
5. Choose the billing and discovery scope.
6. Finish the flow and wait for initial data ingestion.

Permissions required

The access key must have read access to billing, resource, and cost management APIs. Use a RAM user with least-privilege policies scoped to billing and resource read operations.

Best practices

• Use a dedicated RAM user rather than the root account access key.
• Rotate access keys on schedule and update them in CloudVerse promptly.
• Document the billing scope and RAM policy used for the connection.
