Add Ali Cloud for cloud cost integration Merged

Customers are using Ali Cloud and would like to be able to bring in the costs to report as part of the overall cloud spend. Customers would prefer we do an integration vs. building a FOCUS converter to bring in this data.

    Strongly support this initiative. Alibaba Cloud adoption is increasing, and customers need a way to include Ali Cloud costs as part of their overall cloud spend reporting. A native integration would provide consistent, accurate cost visibility across clouds and better align with how customers manage multi‑cloud financial governance, rather than relying on a FOCUS converter workaround, which requires maintenance and overheads from the client side.

    Thanks for the feedback. While the native integration with AliCloud is a future consideration but Cloudability supports FOCUS and AliCloud has started providing data in FOCUS format which can be used to ingest the cost data.
