description: 'FOCUS-aligned FinOps for JFrog: tiered Cloud subscriptions priced by monthly base + tiered
  storage / data-transfer overage, plus self-managed annual subscriptions and optional Security and
  MLOps bundles. The dominant cost driver in Cloud is consumption (GB stored, GB transferred) above
  the included tier allotment.'
