Description

🐛 Problem

The reported costs for Azure Site Recovery are wildly different when looking at the Azure portal compared to those reported by FinOps hub. If I total all the various service categories for the affected time period, the total is consistent with that shown in Azure portal, so I suspect there's a 'categorisation' problem somewhere. In our environment, there's a discrepancy of about £40,000 each month (hub shows +£40k)

👣 Repro steps

Simply compare the costs for the service in the two tools for the same period.

🤔 Expected

I'd expect costs associated to a given service to be the same across two different tools, we have some people using the Azure Portal to look at cost & some using FinOps hub and having wildly different costs associated to what looks like the same service is going to cause confusion.
