FAQ
Do you need "Owner" or "Global Admin" access for the audit?
For the Basic and Standard packages, I only need "Reader" and "Cost Management Reader" roles assigned to my guest account. I will not make any changes to your environment, only analyze it. For the Premium package (Implementation), I will require "Contributor" access.
How much money can you save my business?
While every environment is unique, I typically identify between 15% to 35% in monthly savings for environments that have not been previously optimized. The ROI of this audit is usually realized within the first 1-2 months.
Will your cost optimization recommendations affect the performance of my applications?
No. As a Senior Azure Solutions Architect Expert, my right-sizing recommendations are based on actual historical utilization metrics (CPU, RAM, IOPS). I ensure that you pay only for what you need, maintaining optimal performance and high availability.
Do you audit AWS or Google Cloud (GCP) environments?
This specific gig is exclusively focused on Microsoft Azure infrastructure. My deep specialization in the Azure ecosystem allows me to find savings that generalist cloud consultants often miss.
What is an orphaned resource?
Orphaned resources are components that are no longer being used but are still billing you. The most common examples are unattached managed disks from deleted Virtual Machines, unused Public IP addresses, and empty App Service Plans.
Will you have access to my company's private data or databases?
No. My audit focuses entirely on infrastructure metadata, resource configurations, and billing metrics. I do not need, nor will I request, access to your application data, inside your databases, or any sensitive customer information.
Do your cost-saving recommendations require long-term commitments with Microsoft?
Not necessarily. While I often recommend 1-year or 3-year Reserved Instances (RIs) or Azure Savings Plans for maximum discounts, I always align these recommendations with your business roadmap. I provide the options and the math; you are in full control of deciding whether to commit.
What exactly does the "Actionable Executive Report" look like?
It is a comprehensive, professionally formatted document that breaks down your current cloud spend, highlights specific areas of waste, and provides a prioritized, step-by-step technical roadmap to fix them. It includes the exact estimated monthly savings for each recommended action item, making it
Do you offer ongoing FinOps monitoring after the initial audit?
Yes! Cloud environments are dynamic, and new resources are deployed constantly. After the initial audit or implementation, we can discuss a custom monthly arrangement where I monitor your environment, manage your budgets, and ensure you
Is my Azure environment too small to benefit from a FinOps audit?
Even small environments can suffer from hidden waste. If your monthly Azure bill is over $500, the Basic "Quick Scan" package will likely pay for itself by uncovering unused resources, unattached storage, or simple misconfigurations t
