FinOps Glossary of Terms
Introduction
Version 5.0 offers a comprehensive filter glossary for dashboards and billing inventory that categorizes, organizes, and tracks costs across multi-cloud environments. The platform-specific filters utilize platform-defined attributes for efficient cost management.
These attributes are shown in both multi-cloud and cloud provider-specific dashboards, enabling users to manage their accounts effectively.
Platform-Specific Filters
Platform-defined attributes used to categorize, organize, and track costs across multi-cloud environments.
| Attribute (as Shown in MULTI CLOUD Dashboards) | Attribute ( as Shown in Cloud Provider Specific Dashboards) | Description | Filter Type | Possible Values (Examples) |

| Availability Zone | AWS - Availability Zone Azure - Availability Zone GCP – Zone OCI – N/A. | An availability zone is a provider-assigned identifier for a physically separated and isolated area within a Region that provides high availability and fault tolerance. Availability Zone is commonly used for scenarios like analyzing cross-zone data transfer usage and the corresponding cost based on where resources are deployed. Mapping in Cloud Providers Specific Dashboards: AWS - Availability Zone; Azure - Availability Zone ; GCP - Zones ; OCI - Availability Domain. OCI: For OCI, Availability Zone is not yet processed.

Each Category for easy of use it is further broken down by what these would be called in Cloud Provider. Example: Adjustment in AWS has values Credit, Refund. Breakdown of each mapping is provided in the table in Appendix A. | Finance & Procurement: Analyze cost breakdown by category for budgeting. |
| Pricing Category | AWS –Purchase Option Azure – Pricing Model GCP – N/A OCI - N/A | Pricing Category describes the pricing model used for a charge at the time of use or purchase. It can be useful for distinguishing between charges incurred at the list unit price (on-demand) or a reduced price (Spot, Reservation, etc.) and exposing optimization opportunities, like increasing commitment-based discount coverage. Mapping in Cloud Providers: AWS – Product/Purchase Option ( Purchase Option) ; Azure – Pricing Model ; GCP – N/A; OCI - N/A | FOCUS | On-Demand, Reserved, Spot, Savings Plan | Procurement: Choose the most cost-effective pricing model based on past trends. |

A service offering can include various types of usage or other charges. For example, a cloud database service may include compute, storage, and networking charges. The Service Name is a display name for the offering that was purchased. The Service Name is commonly used for scenarios like analyzing aggregate cost trends over time and filtering data to investigate anomalies. Mapping in cloud provider - AWS: Product Code; Azure : Consumed Service ; GCP - Service; OCI - Service | FOCUS | AmazonEC2, Microsoft.Compute, GoogleCloudSQL, OCICompute | FinOps & Engineering: Identify cost distribution per service across providers. |
| SKU ID | AWS -Product SKU Azure -SKU ID GCP – SKU ID OCI – Product SKU | A SKU ID is a unique identifier that defines a provider-supported construct for organizing properties that are common across one or more SKU Prices. SKU ID can be referenced on a catalog or price list published by a provider to look up detailed information about the SKU. The composition of the properties associated with the SKU ID may differ across providers. Some providers may not support the SKU construct and instead associate all such properties directly with the SKU Price. SKU ID is commonly used for analyzing cost based on SKU-related properties above the pricing constructs. Mapping in cloud provider - AWS: Product SKU; Azure : SKU Id; GCP – SKU Id; OCI – Product SKU | FOCUS | Provider-specific SKU values | Procurement: Validate pricing for invoice and chargeback accuracy. |
| Tag Key | Tag Key | A metadata label used to categorize cloud resources for cost tracking. | FOCUS | User-defined tag keys Tag Key is Owner, Environment, Department, Application | FinOps & Engineering: Group resources by project, department, or business unit. |
| Tag Value | Tag Value | The value assigned to a Resource Tag Key, defining specific categorization. | FOCUS | User-defined tag values Tag Key is Owner and Value is UserName | Procurement & Engineering: Track department-level spending accurately. |

Multi-Cloud:
- Billed Cost: The billed cost represents a charge serving as the basis for invoicing, inclusive of the impacts of all reduced rates and discounts while excluding the amortization of relevant purchases (one-time or recurring) paid to cover future eligible charges. This cost is denominated in the Billing Currency. The Billed Cost is commonly used to perform FinOps capabilities that require cash-basis accounting such as cost allocation, budgeting, and invoice reconciliation.
- List Cost: List Cost represents the cost calculated by multiplying the list unit price and the corresponding Pricing Quantity. List Cost is denominated in the Billing Currency and is commonly used for calculating savings based on various rate optimization activities, by comparing it with Billed Cost and Effective Cost.
- Effective Cost: Effective Cost represents a cost inclusive of the impacts of all reduced rates and discounts, augmented with the amortization of relevant purchases (one-time or recurring) paid to cover future eligible charges. The amortized portion included should be proportional to the Pricing Quantity and the time granularity of the data.
- Contracted Cost: Contracted Cost is denominated in the Billing Currency and is commonly used for calculating savings based on negotiation activities and Billing Plans applied in the platform, by comparing it with List Cost. THIS IS THE TRUE COST that the customer get after all mark up, discount rules and charge allocations are applied through platform BillOps module.
Refer to standard descriptions for cloud provider specific terminology.
