SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps reduce cloud expenditure by analyzing Azure resources and identifying cost-saving opportunities, then creating actionable GitHub issues for implementation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Resource Analysis: Discovers and analyzes Azure resources (IaC files and live resources) for cost inefficiencies.
  • Usage Monitoring: Collects usage metrics from Azure monitoring tools to validate current costs and identify underutilized resources.
  • Optimization Recommendations: Generates specific, evidence-based recommendations for right-sizing, tiering, and resource consolidation.
  • Automated Issue Creation: Creates individual GitHub issues for each optimization and an EPIC issue to coordinate efforts.
  • Use Case: A team notices their Azure bill is higher than expected. They use this Skill to pinpoint underutilized App Service Plans and Cosmos DB RU/s, receiving clear instructions on how to downsize them and save money.

Quick Start

Use the az-cost-optimize skill to analyze my Azure resources and suggest cost savings.

Frequently Asked Questions about az-cost-optimize

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I identify underutilized Azure resources to optimize cloud spending?▼

To optimize Azure cloud spending, this Skill analyzes live Azure resources and Infrastructure-as-Code files using Azure CLI and monitoring metrics to identify underutilized resources and recommend cost-saving right-sizing actions.

Can I automatically create GitHub issues for Azure cost optimization recommendations?▼

Yes, you can automate GitHub issue creation for Azure cost optimization. This Skill generates individual actionable GitHub issues for each identified inefficiency and an EPIC issue to coordinate the implementation efforts.

What is the best way to analyze Infrastructure-as-Code files for Azure cost inefficiencies?▼

Analyzing Infrastructure-as-Code files for Azure cost inefficiencies is best handled by validating current costs and usage metrics against live resource configurations, allowing the Skill to generate specific, evidence-based consolidation recommendations.

Does this cost optimization approach require Azure CLI to discover cloud resources?▼

Yes, Azure CLI is required to discover cloud resources. The Skill leverages Azure CLI and Azure MCP tools to collect usage metrics, validate current costs, and find optimization opportunities within your environment.

How do I get actionable right-sizing instructions for Azure App Service Plans?▼

To get actionable right-sizing instructions for Azure App Service Plans, the Skill analyzes usage metrics to pinpoint underutilized resources and outputs clear downsizing instructions directly within generated GitHub issues.
