Know which experience you are using
Each experience reads different data.
The workload gives people who discover CloudMonitor in Microsoft Fabric a narrow, read-only view of their own estate. The demo shows the whole product on sample data. The full CloudMonitor app is what your team uses for connected FinOps analysis, configuration, governance and administration, and its features depend on your plan, connected data and permissions.
