SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The workflow analyzes Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) files and Azure resources to generate cost optimization recommendations, creating GitHub issues for each identified optimization and one EPIC to coordinate the work.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Analyze IaC files and Azure resources to uncover waste or inefficiencies and propose cost-saving changes.
  • Create individual GitHub issues for each optimization opportunity and a coordinating EPIC issue to track implementation.
  • Provide evidence-based savings calculations and a prioritization scheme to guide deployment.

Quick Start

Run the az-cost-optimize workflow against your target repository to generate cost-optimization recommendations and GitHub issues.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate Azure cost optimization for my IaC repositories?▼

Azure cost optimization is automated by analyzing Infrastructure-as-Code files and deployed resources to identify waste. The workflow generates prioritized recommendations and creates GitHub issues to track implementation.

Can I automatically create GitHub issues for Azure cloud waste identified in my subscriptions?▼

Yes, GitHub issues are automatically created for each identified optimization opportunity. A coordinating EPIC issue is also generated to track and manage the implementation of all proposed cost-saving changes.

How do I analyze Azure resources to calculate potential savings and prioritize changes?▼

The workflow analyzes deployed Azure resources and monitoring data, validates findings against Azure pricing, and calculates evidence-based savings. It outputs a prioritization scheme to guide the deployment of cost optimizations.

What data do I need to generate Azure cost optimization recommendations for resource groups?▼

To generate Azure cost optimization recommendations, you need available Infrastructure-as-Code assets, monitoring data, and cost metrics applied to your subscriptions, resource groups, or projects.

Does Azure cost optimization work with Infrastructure-as-Code files to find cloud savings?▼

Yes, the workflow specifically analyzes Infrastructure-as-Code files alongside deployed Azure resources to uncover inefficiencies and waste. It proposes actionable cost-saving changes based on this analysis.

What is the best way to track and implement Azure cost savings across development projects?▼

The best way to track Azure cost savings is through automated GitHub issues. The workflow creates individual issues for each optimization and a central EPIC issue to coordinate implementation across your projects.
