Carbon Intensity API · FinOps Profile

Carbon Intensity Finops

FinOps framework definition for the Carbon Intensity API. The API is provided entirely free of charge by NESO; there are no monetary costs to consumers. This document captures operational cost awareness (infrastructure, engineering effort, and fair-use compliance) rather than billing costs, and maps to the FOCUS 1.3 data specification for consistency with FinOps tooling.
