​
How Provider Accounts Work

Each account in Cost Optix maps to a single cloud subscription, project, or cluster:
  • An Azure account corresponds to a single Azure subscription
  • An AWS account corresponds to a single AWS account (12-digit account ID)
  • A GCP account corresponds to a single GCP project with a linked BigQuery billing export
You can connect multiple accounts of the same or different provider types. Cost Optix keeps their data isolated per account and lets you view costs per account or aggregated across all connected accounts.

​
How Many Accounts Can I Connect?

The number of accounts you can connect depends on your plan:

​
Connecting Your First Account

  1. In your Cost Optix dashboard, go to Admin → Accounts
  2. Click Add Account
  3. Select your cloud provider
  4. Follow the provider-specific setup guide (linked in the table above)
  5. Click Save — Cost Optix will immediately attempt to verify the credentials and queue a data sync
After a successful connection, your first cost data will appear within the provider’s typical billing lag window.

​
Data Security

Cost Optix only ever requests read-only access to your cloud accounts. It never creates, modifies, or deletes cloud resources or makes purchases on your behalf. All credentials are encrypted at rest using AES-256-GCM and encrypted in transit using TLS 1.3. Each organisation’s data and credentials are stored in an isolated database — no data is shared across organisations. See the Security page for full details.

​
Removing a Provider Account

To disconnect an account, go to Organization Admin → Accounts, find the account, and click Remove. This deletes all stored credentials and cost data associated with that account from Cost Optix. Your cloud provider account is unaffected.
