Repository for community reports and dashboards

[flanakin]

Are you submitting your tool or someone else's?

I'm submitting a suggestion for someone else's tool (please specify below).

Tool ownership responsibilities (only applicable to tool owners)

• [x] I acknowledge the responsibilities of a technical lead and agree to serve in this role for the proposed tool upon its approval.

Tool name

Community reports

Description

Create a repository for the FinOps community to share Power BI reports that they own and maintain. Contributed reports would not be maintained by the FinOps toolkit. The repository would work similar to the Azure Quickstart Templates repository. Owners own their reports and the toolkit makes no statement about the level of support or maintenance of them. The goal is to accelerate onboarding for simple reports that may not be owned by us. This could be hosted in the FTK rep or possibly just a reference to other GitHub repositories.

Use case

Reporting and analytics primarily, but this could be extended to many scenarios.

Services used

Power BI, Data Explorer, Fabric

Dependencies

Community contributions

I like the idea, but I would only suggest to implement it, if we can somehow guarantee, that the reports will work, which is a big challenge based on the fast moving FTK target.

Agreed. I'm wondering how we can differentiate community reports from sponsored reports. We won't be able to guarantee everything. This would be similar to Azure Quickstart Templates.
