The FOCUS Specification (v1.0)

Why this matters​

Cloud billing data is a mess. AWS calls it lineItem/ResourceId, Azure calls it MeterId. The FOCUS (FinOps Open Cost & Usage Specification) standardizes this into a single SQL-queryable schema.

My Goal​

I am documenting my path to the FinOps Certified Practitioner and FOCUS Analyst certifications. These are not management summaries; these are engineering field notes.

Current Progress​

  • Domain 1: Cloud Billing Mechanics
  • Domain 2: The FOCUS Schema
  • Domain 3: SQL Query Patterns
