By default, PerfectScale pulls the "Shelf" prices from the public cloud providers' pricing API. However, for a higher level of granularity, more accurate tracking of resource consumption, and the actual cost of your K8s, PerfectScale allows pulling usage and billing information directly from your cloud provider through the integration. 

To leverage the most detailed source of information about the costs and usage of cloud computing services (like Azure Cost Management), including billing, discounts, reserved resources, and free credits, follow this [step-by-step guide](https://docs.perfectscale.io/2.0-self-hosted-or-perfectscale-documentation/integrate-cloud-billing/connecting-azure-cost-management).
