Provide a webhook to help limit usage (control cost & scalability)

dacoppet commented 7 years ago

The idea would be to have an extension point where customer can take action to help control cost. The scenario I had in mind is the following:

I used the Daily Usage Quota and would like to have a webhook where I could take action when that limit is reached.
That way I can run my custom process : use the Management APi to stop the Azure Function because I don't want to generate more cost for a non critical workload.

@jeffhollan isn't this tracked elsewhere?

This is slightly different. What we are tracking is an ask to let you limit the amount of instances your app will scale out to. We also are tracking plan models to allow you to pay per instance instead of pay per execution so you can control cost with a combination of both of those.

However the specific ask is around almost a trigger on bill. So I'm keeping it open in case that's the ask. Likely more an ask to the Azure billing team around event / trigger support, but the cost management feature is in flight. Moving to "unknown" milestone and will let others comment / add clarity.
