Cost analysis in the Azure portal was only the start. FinOpsHubs.com takes it further on your own FinOps hub: More flexibility, more control over your data. Sign in, connect, get answers. #FinOpsHubs #FinOps #FinOpsToolkit
FinOpsHubs.com is open, and free.
Connect the FinOps hub you already run. Get answers by account, service, and resource in seconds. No reports to build, no data to move.

Has anyone setup a #Hatch Restore 3?
Apparemtly, they haven't heard the phrase "don't be evil." I am astounded to see such dark patterns like this these days! My daughter just got this VERY expensive clock and now I have to sign up for a subscription!? No thank you!
