- Proven experience advising on and implementing Azure Reservations and Azure Savings Plans, including nuanced handling of fees, usage, and eligible SKUs.
- Experience classifying and normalizing large volumes of Azure SKUs into logical product hierarchies suitable for FinOps and analytics use cases.
