Review optimization opportunities by workload, environment, or team

You can now get Advisor recommendations and scores scoped to a workload, environment, or team using resource tag filters. Filter recommendations and calculate scores using tags you already assigned to Azure resources, resource groups, and subscriptions. Use tag filters to:

• Identify cost saving opportunities by team
• Compare scores for workloads to optimize the critical ones first

Tip
