What is Advisor?

Advisor is a digital cloud assistant that helps you follow best practices to optimize your Azure deployments. It analyzes your resource configuration and usage telemetry and then recommends solutions that can help you improve the cost effectiveness, performance, reliability, and security of your Azure resources.

With Advisor, you can:

  • Get proactive, actionable, and personalized best practices recommendations.
  • Improve the performance, security, and reliability of your resources, as you identify opportunities to reduce your overall Azure spend.
  • Get recommendations with proposed actions inline.

You can access Advisor through the Azure portal. Sign in to the portal, locate Advisor on the navigation pane, or search for it on the All services menu.

The Advisor dashboard displays personalized recommendations for all your subscriptions. The recommendations are divided into five categories:

You can apply filters to display recommendations for specific subscriptions and resource types.

Select the recommended action for a recommendation to implement the recommendation. A simple interface opens that enables you to implement the recommendation. It also might refer you to documentation that assists you with implementation. After you implement a recommendation, it can take up to a day for Advisor to recognize the action.

If you don't intend to take immediate action on a recommendation, you can postpone it for a specified time period. You can also dismiss it. If you don't want to receive recommendations for a specific subscription or resource group, you can configure Advisor to only generate recommendations for specified subscriptions and resource groups.
