FinOps workbooks

FinOps workbooks are Azure Monitor workbooks that provide a series of tools to help engineers perform targeted FinOps capabilities, modeled after the Well-Architected Framework guidance.

This template includes the following workbooks:


Deploy the workbooks

  1. To deploy and use the workbook, confirm you have the following least-privileged roles:

    • Contributor or a role with both Microsoft.Resources/deployments/validate/action and Microsoft.Resources/deployments/write permissions is required for ARM template deployments.
    • Workbook Contributor on the target resource group allows you to edit and save the workbook after deployment.
    • Reader is required on all subscriptions you will monitor to access resource information.

    [!NOTE] If you only have read access, you can still import your workbook directly into Azure Monitor. You will not be able to save it, but you can view all tabs. You can download the workbook JSON files from the FinOps workbooks download in the latest release.

  2. Deploy the finops-workbooks template using one of the following methods:

    Option 1: Deploy using ARM template (requires Microsoft.Resources/deployments permissions, Workbook Contributor, and Reader)

    Deploy To Azure   Deploy To Azure Gov

    Option 2: Import JSON files directly (works with Reader access)

    1. Download FinOps workbooks from the latest release.
    2. Navigate to Azure Monitor Workbooks in the Azure portal
    3. Click on + New and select Advanced editory
    4. Copy the text from the desired workbook.json from the downloaded ZIP file, paste it into the editor, and select Apply.
    5. Select Done editing to view the workbook.
    6. Repeat steps 3-5 for each workbook.
