🚚 v0.2

🏦 FinOps hubs {: .fs-5 .fw-500 .mt-4 mb-0 }

Breaking change {: .label .label-red .pt-0 .pl-3 .pr-3 .m-0 }

🛠️ Fixed:

  1. Fixed error in some China regions where deployment scripts were not supported (#259).

✏️ Changed:

  1. Switch from amortized cost exports to FOCUS cost exports.
    _This change requires re-ingesting historical data and is not backwards compatible. The unified schema used in this release is aligned with the future plans for Microsoft Cost Management exports. Note the next release will update the schema to align to the FinOps Open Cost and Usage Specification (FOCUS)._
  2. Updated ingestion container month folders from yyyyMMdd-yyyyMMdd to yyyyMM.
  3. Renamed msexports_extract pipeline to msexports_ExecuteETL.

  4. Removed the ChargeId column due to it bloating the data size.
    • The field is commented out. If interested, you can enable uncomment it in the ftk_NormalizeSchema function. Just be aware that it duplicates a lot of columns to ensure uniqueness which bloats the data size significantly.
  5. Fixed null error when Billing Account ID is empty (#473).
  6. Added missing commitment discount refunds to the actual cost data (#447).
