🛠️ Description

Drafts the FinOps toolkit 14 announcement for the FinOps Tech Community blog. Covers four featured sections:

  1. Build your own FinOps agent in Copilot Studio — the new agent template that connects to hub Data Explorer via the Kusto Query MCP Server.
  2. Recommendations come to FinOps hubs — Azure Advisor + custom Resource Graph query ingestion into the Recommendations dataset.
  3. A simpler hub deployment experience — the consolidated hub mode radio group and conditional setting visibility.
  4. Preview: commitment discount eligibility data — the new pre-computed open data dataset, framed as preview with an explicit ask for feedback.

Plus the standard "Other new and noteworthy" roll-up grouped by tool, "What's next", and a social media appendix with {{POST_URL}} placeholders for LinkedIn, Twitter/X, and internal channels.

Doc links use GitHub dev branch URLs since the corresponding MS Learn pages won't be published by the time the post goes out. Update them to learn.microsoft.com URLs before publishing.

Depends on #2117 for the announce/ folder structure.
