    • Previous actual and amortized cost exports will not work with hubs 0.2 or with 0.2 reports
    • Actual and amortized cost exports should be stopped, deleted, or redirected to a different container.
    • Existing data can remain in storage but will be ignored by the 0.2 reports. Please use 0.1.x reports to view actual/amortized data.
  • Power BI reports in 0.2 only work with FinOps hubs 0.2.
    • 0.2 reports will not work with a 0.1.x hub instance or connect to old actual/amortized cost exports.
    • 0.1.x reports will not work with a 0.2 hub instance or connect to new FOCUS cost exports.
    • The connector report is independent and not impacted.
