[Proposal] Bring your own license

[flanakin]

Type

Dimension(s)
Normalized: TBD

Description

Bring your own license (BYOL) is a very common scenario across cloud providers and a key part of rate optimization activities. In order to help practitioners identify when a discount is applied because of BYOL, there needs to be a way to identify when it's applied. This could start as a simple SkuLicenseCategory column or be expanded to cover more details as needed.

Definition of done

• Rationalize vendor-neutral, cross-cloud naming
• Complete spec template and include naming (code name, display name), constraints, guidelines, compatibility with major providers etc.
• TBD: Include principles and governance criteria for maintaining this dimension (if normalized)

If Normalized Dimension
Work for generating the normalized list of supported values is tracked in a separate issue. Mappings between normalized values and vendor specified values need to be explored as a part of this work. However, these mappings are not included in the spec documentation. Separate tasks will be created for making these mappings available to practitioners outside of the FOCUS repository.
