Azure Cost Management

Microsoft Cost Management is the Azure Resource Manager resource provider (Microsoft.CostManagement) for understanding and controlling cloud spend. Its REST API covers multidimensional cost and usage queries, forecasting, budgets and their alert thresholds, saved Cost Analysis views, scheduled actions that email those views, recurring data exports to customer-owned storage, cost allocation and partner markup rules, reservation and savings-plan benefit recommendations, and asynchronous cost detail and price sheet report generation. Exports can emit the FinOps Foundation's FOCUS schema, so Azure cost data lands in the same shape as other clouds. The service is included with Azure at no additional cost; what is rationed is throughput, through a per-tenant Query Processing Unit budget.

Azure Cost Management publishes 15 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Exports API, Operations API, Alerts API, and 12 more. Tagged areas include Cost Management, FinOps, Cloud Cost, Billing, and Budgets.

Azure Cost Management’s developer surface includes authentication, developer portal, pricing, support, documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, and 34 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/microsoft-azure-cost-management: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

description: Microsoft Cost Management is the Azure Resource Manager resource provider (Microsoft.CostManagement) for understanding
  and controlling cloud spend. Its REST API covers multidimensional cost and usage queries, forecasting, budgets and their
  alert thresholds, saved Cost Analysis views, scheduled actions that email those views, recurring data exports to customer-owned
  storage, cost allocation and partner markup rules, reservation and savings-plan benefit recommendations, and asynchronous
  cost detail and price sheet report generation. Exports can emit the FinOps Foundation's FOCUS schema, so Azure cost data
  lands in the same shape as other clouds. The service is included with Azure at no additional cost; what is rationed is throughput,
  through a per-tenant Query Processing Unit budget.
