What is an external identity provider?

When you configure an external identity provider then your users can authenticate with a third-party social login (e.g., Google, GitHub, Facebook) or enterprise SSO (e.g., Okta, Azure AD, etc.). We call these services external identity providers. To calculate the monthly amount, we take the sum of of activated external identity providers over all instances on each day and calculate the average over a given month, rounded up to the next integer. Excluded are configured identity providers that are not activated.
