Find the Azure waste
Disks and addresses nobody uses, found in one read-only run with what each costs a month, then a report emailed to finance on the first of every month.
Recorded on the real product against our demo company, Lakefront Works. The people and data are fictional.
Transcript
When a server is deleted in Azure its disks and its public address often stay behind. Azure keeps billing for them every month. Alan runs the orphaned resources report on the Lakefront resource group. It only reads. Nothing is changed or deleted. Six things nobody is using. About a hundred and seventy dollars a month, and most of it is one old database disk.
The same results as a report, with a link to each one in the Azure portal. Anything kept on purpose gets a keep tag and stops showing up. Then he schedules it for the first of every month and has it emailed to John, the chief financial officer. The waste shows up in his inbox before it shows up on the bill.
