What problem are you solving?
We have created on DEV-LAB environment for client testing in Azure Cloud, which was costing around $944 daily, the client has halted testing till next quarter,. I have been asked for solution how we can save amount if client is not using this environment, deleting environment wasn't a feasible option as it took almost 15 days to 1 month to configure entire environment which consist of Database servers , Application servers and Web servers along with High Availability setup. |

Describe the idea
This Idea is all about how we can properly analysis and understand each resources on Azure Cloud environment before we actually configure it. I have generated different reports and come up with exact resources which has the highest billing. Those are cost for ultra disk which was more than 90% of over all cost and used in only two servers. Storage in Azure billed constantly even if they are not in use. I have come up with solution to replace Ultra-Disk with Premium SSD which reduce storage charges from $843 to $29 per day, also shut down environment which helped us to reduced per day billing from $944 to $30.15. Also did analysis the usages of disk and found we never utilized more IOPS or Through Put for which we have configured Ultra-disk, so in future we can use the new configuration without impacting client testing, if clients insist then we can replace current Premium SSD with Ultra-Disk in less than 3 hours. When I fetched report for 54 days (after we implemented change Mar 5 2021), we already saved more than $50,000 This approach is saving around $28,000 Monthly or $3,36,000 Yearly Please find attached billing details to justify saving numbers. This exercise can be done across FIS to reconfigure environment properly to save a huge operational/Infrastructure cost. |
