finops toolkit - missing clusterUri
I installed finops toolkit but I did not get any value in the clusterURI from my hub. Any thoughts on how to fix it? thanks instructions: Copy the Data Explorer cluster URI: Select the resource group where your FinOps hub instance was deployed. Select Settings > Deployments > hub > Outputs. Copy the clusterUri output value.Step by Step to Create a Tag Filter in FinOps Hub (Portuguese)
Now live on the Azure InfraGurus regional blog, is guidance on filtering by tags using FinOps hubs. This local language blog is published in Portuguese. https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/azure-infragurus/passo-a-passo-para-criar-um-filtro-de-tag-no-finops-hub/ba-p/4249215 If you'e looking for more Infrastructure guidance in Portuguese, check out the rest of the blog: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/azure-infragurus/bg-p/AzureInfraGurusAzure compute reservation exchanges will remain available until further notice
The availability of Azure compute reservation exchanges for Azure Virtual Machine, Azure Dedicated Host and Azure App Service has been extended until further notice. Originally with a deadline of 1 July 2024, we have extended this and customers may continue exchanging their compute reservations for different instance series and regions until we notify them again, which will be at least 6 months in advance of the new deadline.

Do you use billing meter IDs in your Azure cost reporting? They show up on your invoice, price sheets, API calls etc. We're making some changes so they are unique, so they might appear differently (with a new ID) on some of your resources over the next few months.

Optimalizácia nákladov na Azure: Komplexný sprievodca (Čast 1)
V snahe o efektívnosť cloudu je kľúčové efektívne spravovanie zdrojov. Tento článok poskytuje podrobný sprievodca odporúčaniami na šetrenie nákladov prostredníctvom identifikácie a vypnutia nepoužívaných zdrojov v Azure. Krok 1: Identifikácia nepoužívaných zdrojov Azure Advisor je vaším nástrojom pre identifikáciu nečinných virtuálnych strojov (VM) a ďalších nedostatočne využívaných zdrojov. Postupujte podľa týchto krokov, aby ste využili jeho možnosti: Prístup k Azure Advisor Prihlásenie: Prejdite na Azure Portal a prihláste sa svojimi prihlasovacími údajmi. Nájdenie Advisor: Pomocou vyhľadávacej funkcie portálu lokalizujte 'Advisor'. Záložka Cost: Na paneli Advisor kliknite na záložku 'Cost', aby ste videli finančné rady. Analýza odporúčaní: Azure Advisor využíva strojové učenie na navrhovanie optimalizácií pre vaše zdroje. Konanie podľa návrhov: Identifikuje zdroje, ktoré boli neaktívne viac ako týždeň, a odporúča ich vypnutie na základe metrík CPU a sieťovej prevádzky. Krok 2: Automatické vypnutie VM Aby ste predišli plytvaniu, možno nakonfigurovať funkciu automatického vypnutia Azure, ktorá môže vypnúť VM počas nepracovných hodín. Pôvodne bola táto funkcia exkluzívna pre DevTest Labs, teraz je všeobecne dostupná pre všetky ARM-based Azure VM. Konfigurácia automatického vypnutia s Azure CLI Tu je príklad skriptu na nastavenie automatického vypnutia: #Definícia názvu skupiny zdrojov a VM RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME="myResourceGroup" VM_NAME="myVM" #Nastavenie požadovaného času vypnutia v UTC (HH:MM) SHUTDOWN_TIME="20:00" #Použitie konfigurácie automatického vypnutia az vm auto-shutdown --resource-group $RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME --name $VM_NAME --time $SHUTDOWN_TIME Prispôsobte SHUTDOWN_TIME tak, aby zodpovedal ekvivalentu UTC vo vašom miestnom časovom pásme. Krok 3: Odstránenie osamotených zdrojov Osamotené zdroje, ako sú nepripojené disky a nepoužité sieťové rozhrania, môžu ticho vyčerpávať váš rozpočet. Identifikácia osamotených zdrojov Využite Azure Resource Graph s Kusto Query Language (KQL) na lokalizáciu týchto zdrojov. Napríklad na nájdenie nepripojených diskov: Resources | where type has "microsoft.compute/disks" | extend diskState = tostring(properties.diskState) | where managedBy == "" or diskState == 'Unattached' | project id, diskState, resourceGroup, location, subscriptionId Odstránenie osamotených zdrojov Pred pokračovaním v odstraňovaní ich cez Azure portal alebo pomocou príkazov Azure CLI/PowerShell potvrďte stav osamotenosti. Automatizácia a údržba Zvážte automatizáciu procesu čistenia s Azure Automation alebo Azure Logic Apps. Pravidelné monitorovanie je kľúčové na predchádzanie zbytočným výdavkom. Záver Vždy dôkladne skontrolujte potrebu zdrojov pred ich odstránením, aby ste predišli nezvratným akciám. Dodržiavaním týchto krokov môžete udržať nákladovo efektívne a upratané prostredie Azure.NEW: Set reservation to automatically renew
You can now opt in for your reservation to automatically renew. Your reservations will then automatically purchase a replacement when an existing reservation expires. Automatic renewal provides an easy way to continue getting reservation discounts. It also saves you from having to closely monitor a reservation's expiration or miss savings benefits until you manually renew. The renewal setting is turned off by default, but you can enable or disable the renewal setting anytime, up to the expiration of the existing reservation.

Are these updates a better reflection of FinOps practices today?State of FinOps - 2024 Report
The FinOps Foundation have published the results of their annual survey, the State of FinOps: The summary includes: - New key priorities of reducing waste and managing commitments, mirroring economic uncertainty - Though a top priority, majority heavily optimize only compute spend, leaving further efficiency opportunities - Forecasting capabilities need to improve considerably - Engineering persona getting the most value out of both FinOps training and self-service reporting - The cost of AI is affecting large spenders, but is still on the horizon for others - Intersection with sustainability teams is expected to increase considerably, very few are working together today - Humans are still in the loop for most automation Read more about the insights here: https://www.finops.org/insights/key-priorities-shift-in-2024/ Does this survey reflect what you're seeing as priorities and challenges in your own organization?
