$$$$ saving Azure features in 2022

Last year, there's a lot going on in the world of Azure.
But the questions we hear are always/always/always about how much we spend $$$$, here are few services which gave me some cost-saving opportunities at the invoice.

AKS

Compute

Cosmos DB

Machine learning

Analytics

Networking

  • Azure Firewall introduced a Basic tier.

features of basic
types of sku

Azure Backup

  • Azure Backup added support for zone-redundant storage.

With the zone-redundant storage (ZRS) vault, the backups replicate synchronously across three availability zones in a region. It enables you to perform successful restores and recover your data even if a zone goes down.

Storage

  • Azure Storage added the ability to create an additional 5000 storage accounts per subscription

  • New Premium SSD v2 disk storage.

Thanks for sharing! For Compute, I might add there are "Azure Savings plan" or "Azure Reserved Instances" too. Cheers.
