Unused and unnecessary resources that cost us less can be an eventual priority.
Tracking resources by total costs also helps us save on Azure costs because unused and unnecessary resources that add high costs should be our major focus since these will have the largest impact. We get the list of our Azure costs by resource in our subscription, which will show us the highest costs first Here, we can click on the “Cost by resource” and export the data (Excel or CSV), as we see in the below image. In the Azure Portal, we can get this information by selection our subscription and Cost Analysis. One way to manage this is through tracking the total cost of each resource. As our environment grows, we may see one resource replace another resource since replacement in development can be a method to easily revert changes.
With strong measures to prevent unused and unnecessary resources from existing on the design side, we can focus on organizing our resources to identify unused and unnecessary resources that add to our Azure costs. In this tip, we’ll look at this challenge. We may experience situations where we already have many resources, but are unsure of their use – are these consistently used, sometimes used, never used? Before we can answer whether an unused resource (or what appears to be an unused resource) is unnecessary, we have to determine whether it’s used.
To reduce Azure costs on unused and unnecessary resources, we should design with prevention in mind – considering whether we want to commit to reserved use or test with a pay-as-we-go model.
