FOCUS Training and Certification
FOCUS, the FinOps Open Cost & Usage Specification, is an open-source project that aims to provide clear guidelines for cloud service providers and vendors to generate FinOps-serviceable datasets. The specification enables FinOps practitioners to perform common FinOps activities such as chargeback, cost allocation, budgeting, and forecasting with a single set of instructions, no matter the origin of the dataset. Implementing a standard for cloud billing data removes some complexity from FinOps Practitioners’ workflows and improves how they report the value of cloud back to the business.
Introduction to FOCUS
This free course provides an introduction to FOCUS. After completing this course you will know what FOCUS is and why it is important. Includes 12 months of access to all course content.
