description: 'FOCUS-aligned FinOps for Oracle Enterprise Manager: the OEM framework itself is included
  with Oracle DB licenses, but each Management Pack (Diagnostics, Tuning, Database Lifecycle Management,
  Cloud Management, etc.) is a separately-licensed perpetual line item with 22% annual support, sized
  on the same metric (Processor or NUP) as the targets being managed. OCI Observability and Management
  is the cloud-native consumption-based alternative.'

principles:
  - name: Visibility
    description: Maintain a target-to-pack matrix — which databases, hosts, middleware are entitled to
      Diagnostics, Tuning, DBLM, etc. Reconcile with Oracle LMS audit data; track OCI O+M consumption
      separately.
  - name: Allocation
    description: Allocate Management Pack cost to the team that owns the target estate (DBA team for
      Diagnostics/Tuning/DBLM; platform team for Cloud Management Pack).
  - name: Optimization
    description: Eliminate Diagnostics/Tuning Pack on environments that don't need them (Dev, DR); migrate
      lightweight monitoring needs to OCI O+M consumption-based services; ensure Tuning Pack always paired
      with Diagnostics Pack (license rule). Each pack carries 22% annual support — every removed pack
      saves the support stream too.
  - name: Accountability
    description: A named DBA or platform manager owns the OEM pack catalog and reconciles before each
      annual true-up; finance owns annual support renewal.
