The Azure Cost Saving Series - Sysadmin Central Blog
I am excited to announce the launch of a new blog series focused on optimizing your Azure environment to reduce costs through analysis and the use of tools such as Azure Advisor, Reservations, Compute Savings plans, the SOC Optimization View in Sentinel and so much more.
This series aims to provide clear guidance on key areas for cost optimization, with step-by-step instructions to help you implement savings in your own organisation regardless of your own skill level.
Currently, five articles have been published, with two more scheduled for release. I would greatly appreciate your feedback and invite you to share your own insights or cost-saving tips from your experiences managing your own environment as I'd love to incorporate them in future articles.
You can track the entire series as it develops at https://sysadmin-central.com/category/microsoft/azure/cost-saving/, otherwise links to the individual articles so far can be found below -
