Best practices
Architects needs to put in additional effort to understand their architecture and Azure components utilized. Based on the active monitoring, audits, and usage, they should determine the offering from Microsoft in terms of Sku, size, and features. This section will detail some of the best practices to be adopted from a cost optimization perspective.
Compute best practices
Compute refers to services that help in execution of services. Some of the best practices related to compute are as follows:
- Choose the best location for your compute services such as virtual machines. Choose a location where all Azure features and resources are available together in the same region. This will avoid egress traffic.
- Choose the optimal size for virtual machines. A bigger size virtual machine costs higher than a smaller size and even a bigger size virtual machine might not be required at all.
- Resize virtual machines during times of demand and reduce their size when demand subsides. Azure release...
