  FOCUS-aligned FinOps view for Oracle GoldenGate: OCI managed service
  billing per OCPU-hour by edition, plus separate OCI block storage and
  egress meters for trail files and replicated data; on-premises deployments
  are billed against the contractual Oracle Technology license. FinOps
  observation focuses on edition-OCPU utilization and replication egress.

notes: >-
  No public per-API meter exists. Track OCPU-hour consumption per GoldenGate
  edition through OCI Cost Analysis, plus block storage and egress for trail
  files and outbound replication.

principles:
  - name: Visibility
    description: >-
      Use OCI Cost Analysis with cost-tracking tags applied to each
      GoldenGate deployment, attached block storage, and the deployment's
      VCN to see OCPU and egress consumption by edition and region.
  - name: Allocation
    description: >-
      Apply cost-tracking tags (e.g. team, source_db, target_system) to each
      deployment so replication cost can be attributed to the consuming data
      pipeline.
  - name: Optimization
    description: >-
      Right-size deployment OCPU to match peak replication lag tolerance,
      consolidate low-volume sources onto shared deployments, and prefer
      cross-region replication only where data-residency requirements
      mandate it (egress is metered).
  - name: Accountability
    description: >-
      Assign a data-platform owner to each GoldenGate deployment; review OCI
      consumption monthly and on-premises support renewals annually.
