Release Planning

This section outlines the planned release schedule and key milestones for the FOCUS project. It includes the scope and high-level system requirements for each version, as well as detailed timelines for the development and review processes for each present and past releases.

FOCUS Releases Scope

Version Release By Scope | High-Level System Requirements
v1.1 Nov 11, 2024 SKU and SKU Price Details
  • Provide deeper visibility into SKU and SKU Price details (in addition to the current SKU and SKU Price IDs that are available in FOCUS) which enables many standard FinOps use cases from cost reporting to commitment optimization.
Deeper service classification
  • Move beyond the highest-level service categorization to a sub-categorization for services while adding flexibility for providers to share their native categorizations within FOCUS.
Commitment Discount Visibility
  • Provide deeper visibility into how various commitment discount purchases are amortized across eligible resources.
Capacity Reservation
  • Ability to represent on-demand capacity reservations within FOCUS datasets.
Improve metadata support
  • Strengthen the correlation between FOCUS-compatible datasets and the corresponding metadata to better support data analysis and ETL use cases
