While the FinOps Open Cost & Usage Specification (FOCUS) provides a standardized schema for billing data, multi-cloud organizations still face a significant implementation hurdle: the lack of an immediate centralized location for these vendor exports. This session explores the architectural strategies required to bridge this gap and create a single source of truth for cost data.
We will analyze the design choices for centralizing FOCUS data, specifically addressing the nuances in export implementation across major cloud providers. Attendees will gain actionable insights into managing cross-cloud identity, securing data transit, and leveraging strategic tagging to unify cost attribution. Learn how to transform fragmented exports into a normalized dataset that delivers immediate business value.
