azure-cost-optimization

This skill finds orphaned Azure resources by scanning subscriptions using Azure Quick Review (azqr) to identify unattached disks and other deletable assets. It generates an actionable report with estimated cost savings and cleanup commands.

You can get rightsizing recommendations for underutilized Azure VMs by analyzing actual usage data and utilization metrics with this skill. It suggests smaller VM or service tiers and provides actionable implementation commands to reduce costs.

Yes, analyzing Azure subscription costs requires Azure CLI with the costmanagement and resource-graph extensions installed. You also need the Azure Quick Review (azqr) tool to detect orphaned resources and generate optimization recommendations.

The best way to analyze Azure Cost Management data for optimization opportunities is to scan actual costs and utilization metrics across your subscriptions. This skill identifies orphaned resources and rightsizing opportunities, then generates a detailed cost optimization report.

Yes, you can filter Azure subscription analysis interactively to target specific cost optimization areas. This allows you to focus the scan on particular subscriptions before identifying orphaned resources and generating rightsizing recommendations.

When using azqr for Azure cost optimization, you are limited to detecting orphaned resources and analyzing utilization metrics within your accessible Azure subscriptions. It requires proper CLI extension setup and cannot optimize resources without actual usage data.
