Prometheus · FinOps Profile

Prometheus Finops

FOCUS-aligned FinOps shape for Prometheus. Prometheus has no vendor invoice — it is Apache 2.0 software. The FinOps surface is therefore the operator's own infrastructure cost (compute, storage, network) for running the server, exporters, and remote-write / long-term-storage backends.

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

It defines 3 billable meters, billed in USD, on a on-demand cycle, and pricing category open source.

The profile maps 6 FOCUS columns for cost-allocation reporting.

Tagged areas include Observability, Monitoring, Open Source, FinOps, and FOCUS.
