Azure cost optimization review
Azure bills drift upward as resources are created and forgotten. A cost optimization review finds the savings that are safe to take: right-sizing over-provisioned resources, deleting orphaned disks and IPs, applying reservations and savings plans where usage is stable, and putting budget alerts and tagging in place so it does not happen again.
What's included
- Right-sizing analysis for compute, databases, and storage
- Orphaned and idle resource cleanup list
- Reserved Instance and savings plan recommendations based on real usage
- Azure Advisor cost findings, prioritized by return and risk
- Budget and anomaly alerts
- Tagging and cost-allocation recommendations

Azure Cost Optimization Review: common questions
How much can we expect to save?
It varies, but right-sizing and orphaned-resource cleanup alone commonly free up a meaningful share of a bill. The report shows estimated impact per recommendation so you can decide what to action.
Do you make the changes or just recommend them?
The review delivers the recommendations. Implementation can be included or handled by your team - your call.
