Azure Waste is Costing You Millions (And You Don’t Even Know) – YouTube

What if I told you that up to a third of your company’s Azure spend is vanishing? Industry reports show that around 30 percent of all cloud spending is wasted. That could be hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars evaporating from your budget. This waste often comes from silent culprits: idle virtual machines on weekends, unattached disks, and a lack of visibility into your spending. But what if you could stop the bleeding using tools you already have?

In this video, I’ll show you how to use Azure’s native tools—Cost Management and Azure Advisor—to find that waste and reclaim your cloud budget. We’ll walk through three essential pillars of cloud financial management: getting visibility, optimizing, and setting up controls to prevent future waste.
