Summary
This chapter helped us start painting a picture of cost-saving techniques that you can use to both lower your Azure costs and keep them down. We learned about the principles of right-sizing and how to deal with cloud resources with the correct mindset. Then, we explored a set of examples and workflows that can be easily applied to your Azure environment to assess, automate, and improve your costs, such as gradually building and enriching your own orchestrator that can be invoked from your application and, in fact, perform on-demand scaling and many other savings.
The next chapter will be dedicated to cleanup, which means recognizing and dealing with resources that are completely unutilized or orphaned yet paid at the end of the month.
