Cortex · FinOps Profile

Cortex Idp Finops

FinOps view of Cortex spend. Cortex is a per-developer (seat-based) SaaS internal developer portal, contracted as an annual/enterprise agreement (also available as AWS and Microsoft Marketplace private offers). Cost is driven by the number of developer seats rather than by the number of catalogued entities or API calls - the REST API is included and carries no metered usage fee beyond the documented rate limits. Because pricing is contact-sales, per-unit rates are not reconciled here.

Cortex Idp Finops is the FinOps profile for Cortex on the APIs.io network, aligned with the FinOps Foundation Framework.

It defines 2 billable meters, billed in USD, on a annual cycle, and pricing category seat-based.

The profile maps 8 FOCUS columns for cost-allocation reporting.

Tagged areas include Internal Developer Portal, Software Catalog, FinOps, Cost Management, and FOCUS.
