Top 5 findings
| # | Finding | Severity | Cost / month | Saving / year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Non-production VMs running 24/7 Development and test servers run nights and weekends but are used about 60 hours a week. | High | $5,400 | $41,700 |
| 2 | No reservation or savings-plan coverage on steady VMs Production servers that run all day, every day are paid for at the full on-demand rate. | Medium | $12,800 | $38,400 |
| 3 | Windows VMs without Azure Hybrid Benefit 22 Windows servers pay for a Windows licence the firm appears to already own. | Medium | $2,600 | $21,800 |
| 4 | Unattached premium disks and old snapshots Storage left behind by deleted servers is still billed every month. Nothing uses it. | Medium | $1,550 | $18,600 |
| 5 | Log Analytics retention and ingestion Logging keeps every table for two years and collects verbose data nobody queries. | Low | $3,600 | $13,000 |
Also found: 31% of spend ($19,220 a month) has no owner tag. Nobody is accountable for switching it off. Not counted as a saving.
Top 3 priorities
- Switch non-production off outside working hours. Agree a 60-hour weekday schedule with environment owners; apply auto-shutdown and start. Why now: Largest saving; grows with every new environment. Effort: Low. Value: $41,700 a year.
- Delete unattached disks and old snapshots. Confirm owners, take a final list, then delete. Why now: Pure waste, billed monthly until removed. Effort: Low. Value: $18,600 a year.
- Apply Azure Hybrid Benefit where licences are already owned. Confirm the Windows Server licence count, then switch the benefit on. Why now: Each month pays twice for one licence. Effort: Low. Value: $21,800 a year.
30-day recommendation
| Week | Action | Owner | Expected outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| Week 1 | Delete orphaned disks and snapshots; confirm the licence count. | Platform; licensing owner | Orphaned storage gone |
| Week 2 | Agree non-production hours (60 a week); apply schedules. | Environment owners | Off nights and weekends |
| Week 3 | Turn on Hybrid Benefit; set log retention per table. | Platform; security lead | Licence and log costs down |
| Week 4 | Confirm savings; set budgets on all 3 subscriptions. | Cloud cost owner | Overspend alerts on |
