How to keep track of ephemeral VMs

Tracking ephemeral VMs is hard: they appear, run briefly, and vanish before most tools detect them. The result is missing context, incomplete CMDBs, and charges with no trace of what created them. FinOps teams need better ways to capture these short-lived resources.
