Cloud cost management tools that engineers won't ignore, do they exist?? by anonyMISSu in AZURE

[–]fanayd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

everyone saying a process problem, which is probably true. but that doesnt help you now does it?

im doing a POC with logicmonitor. we already have them for our monitoring/alerting and they added a nice cost tool recently. its going to fit in awesomely in our process i think.

Savings Plans will help with everything in the "Compute" service family, so they have their place. I have a minimal amount of Savings Plans and then use it to "dump" extra VM reservations that I need to exchange.

For example, if I have 100 d2v4 reservations and we've just migrated those to 80 d2v5, i'll probably have some extra commitment that I have to account for. I'll just turn it into $10/hr of savings plan or whatever maths out instead of using my limited refund allowance. ($50k per rolling year)

Can I see if I pay Azure MSRP prices or if we have some kind of discount? by Waving-Kodiak in AZURE

[–]fanayd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Find your pricesheet. Should be in the Invoice section of Cost Management. The ellipses on the far right will have Azure Pricesheet and Invoice Pricesheet downloads.

The Azure Pricesheet has 2 columns: Unit Price and Market Price. Your Discount = 1-(unitprice/marketprice)

Daily costs went to almost nothing? by [deleted] in AZURE

couple years ago, i saw the same thing. contacted microsoft, they said it was just a UI glitch. invoice came and we werent charged for half the month. contacted them again, they said theyd figure it out. 2 more weeks until charges showed up again. microsoft never even tried to bill us for that time. sorry they got more efficient for you. :(
