@Springstone I'm thinking about leaving this one open to track this work for the ADX solution. What do you think? We won't be able to do that with the existing Hubs on ADF.
Adding the blocked status as this is pending on ADX support to be released.
đ Scenario
Persona: This scenario is for the financial controller of the organization, who is responsible for overseeing the financial health and ensuring cost-effectiveness within the Azure environment.
Action: The financial controller needs to analyze the Cost Optimization Workbook to identify and address the issue of orphaned services, which are incurring unnecessary costs.
Goal: The ultimate goal is to optimize the Azure environment for cost-efficiency, ensuring that resources are utilized effectively, and expenses are justified, leading to a better return on investment (ROI).
Need: This is needed because maintaining financial discipline is crucial for the organization's stability and growth. Identifying and eliminating wasteful expenditure on orphaned services will contribute significantly to the organization's financial health.
đ Solution
Solution Overview: The solution will utilize the Azure Retail Rates Prices API to provide a high-level estimate of the cost savings achievable by removing identified orphaned services within the organization's Azure environment.
Outcome: The Financial Analyst will receive a report detailing the estimated monthly and annual cost savings that could be realized if the orphaned services are decommissioned. This report will be generated by cross-referencing the list of orphaned services with the pricing data retrieved from the Azure Retail Rates Prices API, considering the specific SKUs and regions applicable to the organization.
Value Proposition: By providing a quantifiable financial impact, the organization can make informed decisions on resource management, leading to improved cost efficiency and a stronger ROI focus.
đ Tasks
âšī¸ Additional context
The Azure Retail Rates Prices API was chosen for its ability to provide detailed and up-to-date pricing information, which is essential for accurately estimating the potential cost savings from removing orphaned services. This approach aligns with the goal of providing a clear financial impact assessment to support informed decision-making within the organization.
The parameters needed to call the API are already gathered by the Cost Optimization Workbook. It is now the "simple" task to apply the API next to it.
