## Creating & Managing Integrations

Your **Integrations Hub**, available in the left-hand menu, lists every connection along with:

* **User-defined name**
* **Account ID**
* **Creation date**

From the hub you can:

* **New Integration** – add a fresh connection through a guided flow
* **Delete** – permanently remove an existing integration

***

## Stage 1 · Cloud-Billing (Platform) Integrations

Connecting your core billing source is the recommended first step.

| Category         | Providers                  |
| ---------------- | -------------------------- |
| **Hyperscalers** | AWS · Azure · Google Cloud |
| **PaaS**         | Snowflake · Databricks     |

<Note>
  Pelanor normalizes every billing source to the <strong>FOCUS</strong> FinOps data model for a consistent multi-cloud schema.
</Note>

***

## Stage 2 · Install the Kubernetes Agent

Pelanor’s lightweight eBPF agent runs at the operating-system layer and attributes spend to any Kubernetes control plane—managed (<code>EKS</code>, <code>AKS</code>, <code>GKE</code>) or self-managed.

For installation instructions, see the <a href="../integrations/platform/kubernetes">Kubernetes Integration guide</a>.

***

## Stage 3 · Service Integrations

Enable service-specific integrations to push visibility beyond account or cluster level.

Examples:

| Integration    | What You’ll See                                      |
| -------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| **AWS S3**     | Cost per bucket path, file extension, logical folder |
| **CloudFront** | Cost by object path, URI segment, object ID          |
| **Redshift**   | Cost per query, table, or schema                     |

***

## Stage 4 · Custom Integrations

### Custom Invoices

Import any FOCUS-compliant CSV—suitable for ad-hoc or third-party charges—via the **Custom Invoices API**.\
Read the full guide <a href="../integrations/services/custom-invoices">here</a>.

### Custom Metrics

Send business KPIs or performance metrics (e.g., Daily Active Users, API latency, GPU utilization) to:

* Combine cost and performance in one report
* Calculate unit economics such as **Cost per API Call**

See the <a href="../features/custom-metrics">Custom Metrics guide</a> for details.

### API Integrations

Use Pelanor’s REST API to automate workflows such as:

* Creating **Dimensions** and **Segments** from a CRM or BI tool
* Exporting data programmatically
* Spinning up workspaces and onboarding users
