Kubecost Flexera Exporter tool now supports service accounts

note

This feature is available with Cloud Cost Optimization.

Previously, the Kubecost Flexera Exporter tool supported only refresh tokens to obtain access tokens—these are short-lived tokens that are included in requests to the Flexera One APIs.

Now, the tool also supports service accounts to access the Flexera One APIs. A service account is an application-specific credential used by an application to interact with the Flexera One APIs.

This feature gives you the flexibility to choose between using a refresh token or a service account for accessing the Flexera One APIs. For more information, see the following topics in the Flexera One Help:

• Using a Service Account with the Flexera One APIs

• Generating a Refresh Token
