  • 1.  Cloud services to Atum Tower/Sub Tower mapping

    Posted Fri February 14, 2025 02:49 PM

    Hi,

    In Cloudability, we have Tower and Sub Tower for the Cloud services. Any insights on how Cloudability generates the tower mapping? and where it is happening. Do we have control to update the mapping? If so, how?

    Kindly share some lights on this?

    Thanks in Advance

    Hi Marimuthu, it is maintained by a separate them in the backend of Cloudability here are the links I found for the mappings they have the latest Taxonomy 3.0 mappings and we are meant to be able to email cloudmapping@apptio.com about any updates we think may be required. I'm unsure how often it is updated

    AWS Services Mapping - Apptio

    Azure Services Mapping - Apptio

    here is my original thread last year about getting the latest file mappings and such maybe Jenny can assist with any other questions - Mapping Cloud Spend to TBM Towers | IBM Cloudability

    Hi Jeremy, This is very helpful and thanks much.
    So this mapping is common across all customers right? If I need a change in mapping, is it possible for the Apptio Cloudability team to do this only for me?

    Thanks again.

    Hi Marimuthu,

                              As far as I'm aware any updates for the mapping should be across all customers but best to check with Apptio. Can you please let know what you find out?

    I do that in Cost Transparency. The mapping of cloud SKUs happens behind the scenes within the Datalink connectors we use, and Apptio catches up with new products-eventually. To reduce the amount of unmapped spend, we complement the mapping with our own mapping table. Naturally, this does not affect CLDY. Not sure if we could retrofit the (corrected) mappings into CLDY (we don't have it).
    I doubt that Apptio will do custom mappings for individual customers.
