Summary

• Update the SOC Handbook AzureSentinelCost workbook with reorganized cost sections and updated benefit guidance.
• Expand the Defender for Servers Plan 2 eligible data-source description to mirror the Microsoft 365 benefit section style.
• Add the SOC Handbook release note for the packaged workbook enhancements.

Scope

This PR intentionally includes only:

• Solutions/SOC Handbook/Workbooks/AzureSentinelCost.json
• Solutions/SOC Handbook/ReleaseNotes.md

Other JSON changes from the source branch are excluded.

Validation

• Parsed Solutions/SOC Handbook/Workbooks/AzureSentinelCost.json as JSON successfully.
• Verified the branch diff against master contains only the two scoped files.
• Ran git diff --check on the scoped files successfully.

Superseded by #14998. Its scoped SOC Handbook workbook and release-note content was already identical in #14998; the complete #15020 summary, scope, and validation record have been retained in #14998.

Follow-up: this superseded PR remains closed. The consolidated contribution and reviewer corrections from #14998 now continue in #15452, because GitHub rejected reopening the original. The replacement includes generated V3 package outputs, synchronized solution/package version 3.0.9, workbook metadata 1.6.0, and corrected scope documentation. It explicitly remains a draft pending genuine deployment/screenshot evidence and the reproduced upstream ARM-TTK blocker; review is requested there.
