  FOCUS-aligned FinOps definition for Microsoft Azure Quantum. Quantum workloads
  combine a small Azure first-party charge (workspace + Blob Storage) with
  provider marketplace charges metered in vendor-specific units — AQT (IonQ),
  HQC/eHQC (Quantinuum), QPU-hour (Pasqal), and 10ms execution increments
  (Rigetti).

    - Azure Cost Management REST API
    - Azure Consumption REST API
    - Microsoft Cost Management exports (FOCUS-formatted exports supported)
    - Workspace `quotas` endpoint (current-period utilization)
  recommendations:
    - Use FOCUS exports from Microsoft Cost Management for cross-cloud / cross-provider normalization.
    - Apply Azure Budgets and Action Groups at the subscription or resource-group scope to alert on provider overage.
    - Reconcile per-job costs via the workspace `quotas` and per-job billing telemetry exposed by each provider.

    notes: Available to verified students for Azure Quantum experimentation.
sustainability:
  notes:
    - Microsoft commits to carbon-negative operations by 2030 across Azure including Azure Quantum data centers.
    - Quantum hardware partners run in select Azure regions; see provider-global-availability for region selection by carbon impact.
deprecated:
  - Microsoft QIO and 1QBit optimization solvers were removed from Azure Quantum after 2023-06-30 and are no longer billed.
