Cost Optimizations

Cost-saving refactoring, automation, and governance

Significantly reduced Azure costs of a retail client by automating cost controls, maintaining all requirements, and enhancing governance and operational visibility.

  • Reduce escalating Azure costs while maintaining system performance and reliability.
  • Several services were overprovisioned, underutilized, or operating without automation, leading to unnecessary spend.

We delivered a targeted optimization strategy that combined cost-saving refactoring, automation, and governance:

  • Redeployed infrequent workloads from Dedicated App Service Plans to serverless Consumption Plans.
  • Refactored Durable Functions to run on Consumption, preserving SLAs while lowering compute costs
  • Adjusted Log Analytics retention to match compliance needs, cutting storage charges.
  • Removed unused resources across environments.
  • Set up Storage Account lifecycle policies to automatically delete stale data.
  • Archived inactive Azure SQL databases to long-term, lower-cost storage.
  • Established regular Azure Cost Analysis reviews to monitor top cost drivers
  • Implemented DevOps pipeline to automate start/stop schedules for high-cost VMs, saving compute costs during idle hours
  • Reduced Azure costs significantly across multiple services.
  • Automated cost control via DevOps and Azure-native policies.
  • Maintained all functional and non-functional requirements.
  •  Improved governance and visibility for the operations team.
