description: FOCUS-aligned FinOps shape for Intel developer APIs. Both Intel Trust Authority and Intel
  oneAPI are free at the API / toolkit level; the only invoiced lines are optional support subscriptions
  (Intel Trust Authority paid support, Intel Priority Support for oneAPI). FinOps practice for Intel
  APIs therefore focuses on operational telemetry (attestation request volume, rate-limit headroom)
  and on support-renewal accountability rather than per-call cost accounting.
notes: No usage-based invoice for the API itself. The 'cost' to track is operational - request volume,
  region selection, and support entitlement utilization. Reconcile against the customer's Intel Priority
  Support and Trust Authority support contracts.

principles:
  - name: Visibility
    description: Track Intel Trust Authority attestation request volume per workload and per region;
      surface oneAPI Priority Support ticket usage in Intel's support portal.
  - name: Allocation
    description: Tag attestation requests by workload / cluster / cost-center so request volume can be
      attributed; map oneAPI Priority Support entitlement to product teams.
  - name: Optimization
    description: Cache attestation tokens for their full validity; co-locate workloads with the closest
      Trust Authority region (US or EU) to reduce latency; align oneAPI support tier to active toolkit
      usage at renewal.
  - name: Accountability
    description: Designate a confidential-computing owner for Trust Authority and a developer-experience
      owner for oneAPI; review attestation-volume growth and support-ticket spend annually.
