Cost management
Visibility, discipline, and accountability for Azure spend.
Get Azure costs under control — identify what's wasting money, right-size over-provisioned workloads, optimise licensing, and put the structures in place so spend stays visible and owned.
What’s included
4 areas of focus.
Cost Optimisation
Analyse Cost Management data to identify the top spend drivers, assess reservation and savings plan opportunities, and quantify the changes that deliver measurable savings without sacrificing reliability or performance.
Stale Resources
Systematic discovery of orphaned managed disks, unattached public IPs, idle App Service Plans, stopped VMs still incurring storage costs, and other forgotten resources accumulating charges month after month.
Right Sizing
VM and PaaS SKU analysis against actual CPU, memory, and IOPS utilisation data. Over-provisioned workloads costing twice what they should — recommendations with risk assessment so you know what's safe to resize.
Licensing
Azure Hybrid Benefit coverage gaps for Windows and SQL Server, Dev/Test pricing for non-production environments, BYOL opportunities for third-party software. Savings quantified, coverage changes tracked in Terraform.
What we deliver
Concrete outputs. Nothing vague.
Every engagement ends with tangible, owned deliverables — not a slide deck that gathers dust. The outputs below are typical for a FinOps engagement; scope is agreed during discovery.
- Azure spend analysis with top cost-driver breakdown
- Stale resource inventory with estimated monthly saving per item
- Right-sizing recommendations with utilisation data evidence
- Licensing optimisation report with Hybrid Benefit coverage gaps
- Tagging strategy and budget alert configuration in Terraform
