📣 Myself and Michael Stephenson hosted a really collaborative Webinar today with various NHS Trusts in the UK around Azure Cost Management. 👉 Key takeaway is Azure Costs are a real everyday concern for organisations big and small. Key issues I see when talking to clients are: 1. Rightsizing of resources is not easy within the Azure Portal, especially across multiple subscriptions - context is missing 2. Reservation opportunities can easily be missed and are 3. The ability to schedule resources up/down on/off during certain hours is not easy to do without writing and maintaining scripts 🤝 Reach out to me if you'd like to understand more about how Turbo360 can quickly fix the above and put your Azure spend firmly back in your control.
