FOCUS Specification

FOCUS is developing an open standard for cloud billing data and gaining adoption across all major cloud vendors.

Version 1.0 introduces common taxonomy, terminology, and metrics for billing datasets produced by Cloud Service Providers (CSPs). The Specification, however, will be extensible to other cloud billing datasets for networking, observability, and security tools. Future updates are expected to add support for SaaS and PaaS providers and on-premises datasets.
