description: FOCUS-aligned FinOps shape for Informatica IDMC. Billing is consumption-based via Informatica
  Processing Units (IPUs) drawn from a pre-purchased pool, with MDM additionally metered per-domain
  records. The single fungible meter (IPU) maps cleanly to FOCUS Usage charges and supports per-service
  attribution.
notes: Per-IPU dollar amount not publicly disclosed; the IPU itself is the canonical meter. Reconcile
  against the customer's Cloud and Product Description Schedule and IDMC Consumption dashboard.

  - name: Visibility
    description: Use the IDMC Consumption Dashboard and the Audit Log API to see per-service IPU consumption
      and project burn-rate against the pre-purchased pool.
  - name: Allocation
    description: Tag projects, folders, and runtime environments by team / business unit so IPU consumption
      can be attributed; export consumption to FinOps tooling via the Cloud Audit Log API.
  - name: Optimization
    description: Tune CDI-e job parallelism, prefer push-down compute, retire low-value scheduled jobs,
      and right-size Secure Agents to lower IPU burn-rate per job.
  - name: Accountability
    description: Designate a data-engineering FinOps owner with monthly IPU-burn review; set IPU consumption
      thresholds and alerts in the admin UI to flag anomalies before pool exhaustion.
