Azure Cost Optimization

Optimize Reservations, Hybrid Benefit, and Azure resource governance.

Azure's pricing model punishes teams who don't actively manage it

Between Reserved Instances, Azure Hybrid Benefit, and dozens of overlapping VM series, it's easy to overpay for compute you don't need — and just as easy to leave real savings on the table because nobody has time to track every subscription by hand.

One governed view across every subscription

OptCloud connects to Azure Cost Management through a read-only Service Principal and normalizes spend across every subscription and resource group into a single view — so governance doesn't depend on every team following the same tagging discipline.

What Azure teams get with OptCloud

Right-size VMs and cut idle compute automatically

We track utilization for every VM and recommend both a smaller SKU and an auto-shutdown schedule for non-production workloads that sit idle outside business hours — the two biggest sources of avoidable Azure spend.

Example recommendation
8x Standard_D8s_v5 — staging environment

No activity detected outside business hours — auto-shutdown plus a smaller SKU recommended.

Get full value from Reservations and Hybrid Benefit

OptCloud continuously checks your Reserved Instance and Azure Hybrid Benefit coverage against actual usage, flagging both underutilized reservations and workloads that qualify for Hybrid Benefit but aren't using it yet.

Enforce tagging and resource hygiene at scale

Untagged and orphaned resource groups make cost allocation impossible. OptCloud tracks tagging compliance across every subscription and surfaces resources that violate policy before they show up as unexplained spend.
