Tenant View
Go to COST MANAGEMENT → Azure CSP
Accessibility
To have access to the CSP view tenant/customer should have mark up set by CA and monitor enabled on least one of the subscriptions else there will be a notification for configuration when a tenant lands on the Azure CSP page.
Add Mark Up
Enable Monitoring
Every tenant role has to go through the csp-tenant linking process and also that customer once linked has to have mark up set along with monitoring enabled on any one of the subscription. All these set of requirements are fulfilled by CA while or after on-boarding a customer to HCP as a tenant else the behavior of the tenant will be no different then HCP tenant but without CSP features available.

For resource optimization, we let customer know how they can make optimum use of their resources by giving them insights like costing, right size resource, idle resource etc .
HCP Services recognizes all the low utilization resources , Idle resources and resources that can be candidates for right sizing.
These recommendation may vary over time depending upon the usage and time period over which the data-points have been collected for the resource and its usage over a time period.
