Fix broken FinOps ebook link in guide and documentation
Problem
The FinOps ebook link (https://aka.ms/finops/ebook) referenced in the Implementing FinOps guide does not provide an actual downloadable ebook. Instead, it redirects to a general overview page with various examples and success stories, which is not the intended resource for users looking for an executive walkthrough of FinOps principles.
Solution
Updated the ebook link to point to the correct Azure resource page: https://azure.microsoft.com/resources/finops-with-azure-bringing-finops-to-life-through-organizational-and-cultural-alignment
This resource is referenced in the official Microsoft Learn FinOps Framework documentation as the authoritative source for "FinOps with Azure – Bringing FinOps to life through organizational and cultural alignment," which provides the executive walkthrough of FinOps principles that users expect.
Changes
-
Updated
docs/guide.md:- Fixed the ebook link URL
- Changed tile title from "Standardized reporting" to "FinOps principles" for better clarity

-
Updated

<issue_title>Fix FinOps ebook link in the guide</issue_title> <issue_description>There is no ebook to download at this link from the guide: https://aka.ms/finops/ebook
It is just an overview page with several examples and success stories for Microsoft in general. I guess the actual FinOps ebook should be here: https://azure.microsoft.com/de-de/solutions/finops
