Azure cost and resource review
Summary
I reviewed Cost Management to understand which resources were still generating costs, identify reservations or services that needed review and prepare a list of pending decisions.
- My role
- Full analysis and report preparation.
- Review
- Virtual machines, reservations, databases and other services.
- Delivery
- Presented to my manager.
- Status
- Changes pending decision and implementation.
What I found
Some resources needed a review of their use, owner and current need. I organised the analysis so each one could be checked: what it was, who should confirm it and what options were available.
Result
I presented the analysis with the resources organised and a proposed action for each case. This gives us a clear list of what to review and the available options: keep, resize or remove. The changes are still pending.
