💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Identify and reduce Azure cloud spend by analyzing usage data, discovering orphaned resources, and recommending rightsizing and cost-optimization actions.

Core Features & Use Cases

End-to-end cost discovery across subscriptions, including orphaned resource detection, utilization analysis, and pricing validation.
Generate auditable optimization reports with prioritized recommendations for cost savings on VMs, Redis caches, storage, and other services.
Support Redis-specific optimization workflows via dedicated references and report templates.

Quick Start

Run the Azure cost optimization workflow against your Azure subscription to generate the cost optimization report.

FAQPage Schema

How do I find orphaned resources in Azure to reduce cloud spend?▼

Azure cost optimization analyzes usage data to find orphaned resources and recommend cost reduction actions. It detects unattached storage, idle VMs, and unused Redis caches, generating auditable reports with prioritized savings recommendations.

Can I analyze Azure costs across multiple tenants and subscriptions?▼

Azure cost optimization supports cost discovery across subscriptions spanning single or multiple tenants. It aggregates usage data, validates pricing, and generates optimization reports covering all specified Azure environments.

How do I right-size Azure VMs and Redis caches for cost optimization?▼

Azure cost optimization analyzes utilization metrics to recommend right-sizing for VMs, Redis caches, and storage workloads. It evaluates actual usage against provisioned capacity, generating actionable downsizing or termination recommendations.

What's the best way to generate an auditable Azure cost optimization report?▼

Azure cost optimization generates auditable reports with prioritized cost savings recommendations. It executes an end-to-end workflow of cost discovery, data collection, utilization analysis, and orphaned-resource detection to produce verifiable outputs.

Does Azure cost optimization require any external dependencies or modules?▼

Azure cost optimization operates without external dependencies, using built-in references to analyze Azure usage data. It requires access to your Azure subscription usage and pricing data to execute the cost discovery and optimization workflow.

What Azure workloads are supported for cost management and orphaned resource detection?▼

Azure cost management supports VMs, Redis caches, and storage workloads for orphaned-resource detection and right-sizing. It discovers unused resources, analyzes utilization patterns, and validates pricing across these services to identify savings.
