SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The workflow analyzes Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) files and Azure resources to generate cost optimization recommendations, creating GitHub issues for each identified optimization and one EPIC to coordinate the work.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Analyze IaC files and Azure resources to uncover waste or inefficiencies and propose cost-saving changes.
  • Create individual GitHub issues for each optimization opportunity and a coordinating EPIC issue to track implementation.
  • Provide evidence-based savings calculations and a prioritization scheme to guide deployment.

Quick Start

Run the az-cost-optimize workflow against your target repository to generate cost-optimization recommendations and GitHub issues.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate Azure cost optimization for my IaC repositories?

Azure cost optimization is automated by analyzing Infrastructure-as-Code files and deployed resources to identify waste. The workflow generates prioritized recommendations and creates GitHub issues to track implementation.

Can I automatically create GitHub issues for Azure cloud waste identified in my subscriptions?

Yes, GitHub issues are automatically created for each identified optimization opportunity. A coordinating EPIC issue is also generated to track and manage the implementation of all proposed cost-saving changes.

How do I analyze Azure resources to calculate potential savings and prioritize changes?

The workflow analyzes deployed Azure resources and monitoring data, validates findings against Azure pricing, and calculates evidence-based savings. It outputs a prioritization scheme to guide the deployment of cost optimizations.

What data do I need to generate Azure cost optimization recommendations for resource groups?

To generate Azure cost optimization recommendations, you need available Infrastructure-as-Code assets, monitoring data, and cost metrics applied to your subscriptions, resource groups, or projects.

Does Azure cost optimization work with Infrastructure-as-Code files to find cloud savings?

Yes, the workflow specifically analyzes Infrastructure-as-Code files alongside deployed Azure resources to uncover inefficiencies and waste. It proposes actionable cost-saving changes based on this analysis.

What is the best way to track and implement Azure cost savings across development projects?

The best way to track Azure cost savings is through automated GitHub issues. The workflow creates individual issues for each optimization and a central EPIC issue to coordinate implementation across your projects.
