In this hands-on FinOps X 2026 lightning talk, Arjun Kaushal of Trident Consulting walks through the real engineering work of ingesting FOCUS-formatted cost data across Azure, AWS, and GCP.
He covers native export tools per provider, why Parquet is the file format to standardize on, and the schema quirks that catch people off guard: tags exported as nested lists on AWS and GCP versus flat strings on Azure, varying numeric precision across providers, and a genuinely surprising one, GCP invoices on Pacific time while AWS and Azure use UTC, which can quietly shift your monthly numbers if you don't account for it. He closes with the architecture (a pull-based job running inside the cloud provider for workload identity federation), why tagging is what actually turns a clean export into business value, and a concrete crawl, walk, run plan for building the whole pipeline.
0:00 Intro: why multi-cloud FOCUS data ingestion matters now
1:58 Native export tools and file formats: Parquet across Azure, AWS, and GCP
3:40 Real schema quirks: nested tags, precision differences, and version mismatches
5:29 GCP's hidden timezone quirk: invoicing on Pacific time, not UTC
7:50 Identity and security: workload identity federation for passwordless auth
9:44 The crawl, walk, run journey for building your pipeline
