New Azure Savings Plan Recommendations policy added to Automation Catalog

New Azure Savings Plan Recommendations policy

Note:This feature is available with Cloud Cost Optimization.

Microsoft recently announced Azure savings plans meant to allow easier purchasing and commitment to discount pricing for users with consistent Azure compute resource usage.

To help Flexera users take advantage of the new Azure savings plan model, we have added relevant recommendations in Cloud Cost Optimization. These recommendations allow our Cloud Cost Optimization users to see the savings they can achieve on their Azure spend, in one aggregated view, along with the other savings opportunities such as Azure RI, Unused Volumes, Idle Instances, and many more.

You can find the policy for Azure Savings Plan Recommendations in our Automation Catalog or in our GitHub repository:

•

To find this policy in our Automation Catalog in Flexera One, click Automation > Catalog and, on the Automation Catalog page, search for Azure Savings Plan Recommendations.

•

To find this policy in our GitHub repository, use your web browser to navigate to https://github.com/flexera-public/policy_templates/tree/master/cost/azure/savings_plan/recommendations.
