How data is processed in FinOps hubs From data cleanup to normalization, FinOps hubs do the work so you can focus on driving business value.


FinOps hubs perform a number of data processing activities to clean up, normalize, and optimize data. The following diagram shows how data flows from Cost Management into a hub instance:

sequenceDiagram
    Cost Management->>msexports: ① Export data
    msexports->>msexports: ② msexports_ExecuteETL
    msexports->>ingestion: ② msexports_ETL_ingestion
    Power BI-->>ingestion: ③ Read data


  1. Cost Management exports raw cost details to the msexports container.
  2. The msexports_ExecuteETL pipeline kicks off the extract-transform-load (ETL) process when files are added to storage.
  3. The msexports_ETL_ingestion pipeline transforms the data to a standard schema and saves the raw data in parquet format to the ingestion container.
  4. Power BI reads cost data from the ingestion container.
