Description Rehana 2023-06-27 16:43:54 UTC
Description of problem:
CentOS 7 will go EOL in July of 2024[1]. There are a large number of third party CentOS offerings being consumed in the hyperscalers. To reduce friction in converting these customers to a Red Hat offering, Red Hat would like to offer hourly billing of RHEL + Extended Lifecycle Support (ELS) offerings to these customers[2]. 

In order to help offer hourly billing, subscription-manager should be reporting few extra facts as mentioned in these PRs [3]

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL7/8/9

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Check subscription-manager facts on GCP instances to report the following additional facts 
	Ex: gcp_project_id , gcp_project_number 
2. Check subscription-manager facts on Azure instances to report the following additional facts 
	Ex : azure_subscription_id

Actual results:
None of the above facts are reported today 

Expected results:
The above mentioned facts should be reported in respective cloud instances.

Additional info:
At this time of requesting, these are the only facts that we believe will help in enabling the hourly metering in cloud systems
