I am a functional founder and am not too abreast to optimizing technical infrastructure relative to cast. Who can I work at microsoft to review my resources and confirm I have the correct cost plans or subscriptions to optimize cost savings?

Question

I have a few resources for the development of my application and we are already seeing costs as high as $350/month for an application which isn't even in production. How or who can I work with to make sure we are optimizing our resources relative to the best cost management approach?

Hello Terin Guerra,

Thanks for your question.

Your best bet is to create a billing ticket so they can assist you if you feel there are discrepances. billing tickets are free and can be created here: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/support/create-ticket

Froma troubleshooting perspective, I would recommend leveraging Azure Advisor to give you insights in what you can optimize in your infra.

You could also create budgets within Azure Cost Management to monitor your spending and receive alerts when you approach or exceed your budget as a way to check.
