# Azure Partner and Customer Usage Attribution

Customer usage attribution is a method to associate Azure resources running in customer subscriptions, deployed to run your solution, with you as a partner. Forming these associations in internal Microsoft systems brings greater visibility to the Azure footprint running your software. When you adopt this tracking capability, you align with Microsoft sales teams and gain credit for Microsoft partner programs.

A GUID is a unique reference number that has 32 hexadecimal digits. To create GUIDs for tracking, you should use a GUID generator. The Azure Storage team has created a [GUID generator form](https://aka.ms/StoragePartners) that will email you a GUID of the correct format and can be reused across the different tracking systems.
