This PR adds comprehensive documentation for FinOps practitioners who need to build custom reports and analytics solutions outside of Power BI using Data Lake Storage connectivity options.

What's Added

Created a new documentation page data-lake-storage-connectivity.md that covers:

Analytics Tools & Services

  • Azure Data Explorer (ADX) - Links to existing dashboard configuration documentation
  • Microsoft Fabric - Links to existing workspace creation guide
  • Azure Synapse Analytics - Enterprise data warehousing with SQL and Spark support
  • Azure Databricks - Advanced analytics and machine learning with Apache Spark
  • Azure Machine Learning - MLOps and automated cost forecasting models
  • Custom Applications - REST APIs and SDKs for custom integrations

Decision Guidance

  • Tool comparison matrix with complexity and cost models
  • Security and governance best practices
  • Use case recommendations based on requirements
  • Links to official Microsoft documentation for implementation details

The documentation leverages existing ADX and Fabric guides rather than duplicating content, while expanding coverage to additional analytics platforms commonly used in enterprise environments. All implementation details link to official Microsoft product documentation to ensure content remains current and accurate.

Updated the changelog to document this addition under the Unreleased section since v12 has already shipped.

Fixes #22.
