Listen "Azure Sticker Shock with Aidan Finn"
Episode Synopsis
Are your finance people suffering from Azure sticker shock? Richard talks to Aidan Finn about his experiences with organizations discovering they spend far more on Azure than expected. Aidan talks about designing systems based on on-premises requirements where hardware is over-provisioned, and new features in Azure are added without a thought to cost. Getting finance involved in an Azure migration from the beginning can help mitigate the shock and balance features and costs. Plus, there are great tools for cost management in Azure that can allow for budget projections, catch unusual spending early, and point out opportunities to save money with specific services available today!Links:Azure Firewall PremiumAzure AdvisorCloud Adoption FrameworkAzure Pricing CalculatorMicrosoft Cost ManagementAzure MonitorAzure ReservationsAzure Hybrid BenefitRecorded April 6, 2023
