Azure Cost-Savings Opportunities

• Updated pricing, service capabilities, and tools can cut Azure costs or make costs more predictable.
• Deployment or process changes may be required to realize cost reductions enabled by the updates.
• Organizations should stay abreast of ongoing updates as part of an overall strategy to manage Azure costs.

Azure is constantly updated with new services and capabilities. The updates can help customers deploy new solutions and functionality, but they also may enable cost reductions for existing deployments. Some changes, such as price reductions, cut costs without customer intervention, while others, such as improved management and migration tools, assist with customer efforts to cut costs.
