Applying Azure Cost Guardrails

Category: Engineering  ·  Sub-category: cloud-platforms  ·  Last updated:
cloud:azuretype:audit
Applies Azure cost guardrails to a deployment — verifies consumption-priced SKUs, scale-to-zero on Container Apps, SQL Serverless auto-pause, Log Analytics dailyQuotaGb cap, Storage lifecycle rules, and the free tiers (SWA Free, ACS 100 emails/day, App Insights 5GB/mo). Audits an existing project's Bicep for accidentally provisioned fixed-cost resources and recommends fixes. Use when designing infrastructure to stay near zero cost when idle, auditing a deployment whose bill has grown, or onboarding to azure-cost analysis via Microsoft's azure-skills.

From the source SKILL.md

Consumption-first design defaults + a script that audits existing Bicep for cost regressions. This skill is preventive — for live cost analysis of a running deployment, compose with Microsoft's [azure-cost](https://github.com/microsoft/azure-skills) skill.
