RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
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]

[2] https://issues.redhat.com/browse/BIZ-634
[3] https://github.com/candlepin/subscription-manager/pull/3287 and https://github.com/candlepin/subscription-manager/pull/3285
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
