FOCUS in Practice

FOCUS use case library

Six questions finance and engineering ask every month, each answered with one SQL query on FOCUS data. Pick a use case to see the result on a sample multi-cloud bill, the FOCUS columns it needs, and a query you can copy into Athena, Trino or BigQuery.

Sample data: Maple Freight, October 2026, three clouds, illustrative figures. Queries written by Cloud Institute Canada and inspired by the official FOCUS Use Case Library (CC BY 4.0); they assume one table, focus_all, holding your FOCUS exports from every cloud. Check them against your own exports before you rely on the numbers. Not affiliated with or endorsed by the FinOps Foundation.
