Project Funding and RPAdmin Budget Management
Funding and budget management in RPAdmin operate under the following principles:
- Project Accounts: Funding is routed to a dedicated project account, functioning similarly to an AWS linked account.
- Cost Representation: Figures displayed in the RPAdmin dashboard represent AWS service costs, not actual obligated dollars
- NASA costs.
- Budget Limits: Principal Investigators (PIs) are responsible for setting budgets and spending limits within RPAdmin (similar to AWS Cost Explorer). These limits are used for tracking and do not become actual obligated dollars until pricing is finalized or approximated
- should be based on available balance reported by the project report from FinOps.
- Reporting: Until a dedicated self-service dashboard is fully available, projects will receive monthly cost and spending reports to track their allocations and usage.
