Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Microsoft Azure Cost Optimization, and how System Strats can help.

Yes. Most environments we audit have 20 to 40 percent savings opportunities, often without any workload impact, just from right-sizing, reservations, and cleanup of unused resources.

Reservations lock in specific VMs for 1 or 3 years at a discount. Savings Plans apply to compute spend more flexibly. The best mix depends on your workload stability.

Budgets, cost alerts, anomaly detection, and regular review. Cost discipline has to be continuous or waste creeps back in fast.

Yes. We run focused cost reviews that identify savings within a few weeks, with ongoing monitoring after the initial cleanup.
