Find the Azure waste
hiding in your cloud bill.
Connect safely in 5 minutes with read-only permissions. WasteRadar analyzes your Azure estate, detects unattached and idle infrastructure, and helps prove realized monthly savings.
Azure costs are easy to see.
Waste is harder to find.
Microsoft invoices show total monthly charges, but they don't automatically surface which disks are unattached, which IPs are idle, or where your budget is leaking.
Cloud spend grows silently.
As teams deploy and scale services, infrastructure expands across subscriptions without centralized waste oversight.
Unused resources hide inside Azure.
When virtual machines are removed, their disks, network interfaces, and public IPs often remain active — continuing to bill.
Teams don't have time for continuous audits.
Manually inspecting every disk, IP, and SKU meter requires hours of custom scripting that engineers rarely have time to run.
From cloud bill to clear action.
WasteRadar transforms raw Azure telemetry into structured financial intelligence that engineering and finance teams can immediately act on.
Find Azure resources and waste.
WasteRadar queries Azure Resource Graph and Cost Management APIs to map every VM, managed disk, public IP, snapshot, and SKU tier across your subscriptions.

Find the Azure waste hiding in your bill.
WasteRadar connects your Azure estate, identifies recurring waste and shows exactly where your money is going.
Stopped (Not Deallocated) VM
Virtual machine stopped in guest OS remains allocated in Azure fabric, continuing compute reservations and OS disk fees.
Deallocate compute instance in Azure Portal or via automated schedule.
Unattached Managed Disk
An unused managed disk has continued generating storage charges without any attached virtual machine.
Delete the unattached disk if data is not needed, or archive to cold storage.
Idle Dev/Test Jumpbox
Development jumpbox virtual machine running 24/7 with zero active SSH connections or CPU utilization outside business hours.
Apply automated nightly shutdown schedule to reduce runtime by 70%.
Orphaned Disk Snapshot
Point-in-time disk backup snapshot retained long after the originating parent disk has been modified or decommissioned.
Prune obsolete snapshot retention policies and archive cold backups.
Unused Static Public IPs
Static IPv4 addresses allocated in subscriptions that are not associated with any active network interface or load balancer.
Release public IP address reservations back to Azure allocation pool.
Unattached ML Scratch Disks
Temporary machine learning data processing volume left behind unattached after training batch job completion.
Purge scratch volume upon pipeline task completion.
WasteRadar vs. manual Azure Portal reviews
Manual portal checking is slow, reactive, and leaves thousands of dollars of orphaned infrastructure undetected every month.
| Capability | Manual Azure Portal / Spreadsheets | WasteRadar Automated Platform |
|---|---|---|
| Scanning Cadence | ✕Point-in-time manual checks in Azure Portal, forgotten until the invoice arrives | Automated continuous scanning via Azure Resource Graph with daily spike alerts |
| Finding Prioritization | ✕Raw lists of hundreds of unattached resources without immediate dollar impact | Dollar-prioritized findings calculated with Azure Retail Pricing API |
| Savings Realization | ✕Unverified estimates with no tracking of whether deletions actually lowered the bill | 4-stage verified savings pipeline confirmed directly against historical invoices |
| Estate Visibility | ✕Switching subscriptions manually, blind spots across shared tenant environments | Unified multi-subscription roll-up across all production and sandbox workloads |
| Setup & Permissions | ✕Hours of custom PowerShell/CLI scripting or high-privilege Contributor access | 5-minute setup with standard 100% read-only Azure Reader role (zero agents) |

Separate potential savings from savings you actually achieved.
Potential savings are never presented as realized savings until subsequent Azure billing telemetry confirms the reduction. WasteRadar gives finance and engineering teams undeniable proof of optimization ROI.
Potential Savings
WasteRadar detects idle or orphaned infrastructure and calculates the maximum recoverable monthly amount.
Expected Savings
Engineering acknowledges the recommendation and schedules cleanup or right-sizing in the cloud environment.
Pending Verification
Action is performed in Azure. WasteRadar monitors incoming Cost Management invoices to verify charge cessation.
Verified Realized Savings
Azure billing telemetry mathematically confirms the recurring cost has dropped. Realized ROI is permanently logged.
Enterprise AI, built around your security boundary
WasteRadar keeps customer AI processing inside a controlled server-side architecture. Customer Azure credentials are never provided to the model, tenant permissions are enforced before AI context is created, and FinOps calculations remain deterministic.
Microsoft Azure OpenAI
Authenticated customer-facing AI is processed through Microsoft Azure's hosted AI infrastructure.
No AI Training on Customer Data
Customer prompts and completions are not used by Models sold by Azure to train generative AI foundation models without permission or instruction.
Tenant-Isolated AI Context
AI receives only the customer data the authenticated user is authorized to access under strict server-side RBAC and RLS policies.
Credentials Stay Outside AI
Azure credentials, access tokens, database secrets and encryption keys are never provided to the model.
AI explains. WasteRadar calculates.
Cost, waste, forecast, budget and verified-savings calculations remain deterministic and server-side. AI does not create or alter authoritative financial values.
Built for environments where trust matters.
Handling Azure billing and infrastructure telemetry requires uncompromising security. WasteRadar is engineered from the ground up to guarantee read-only safety and data isolation.
Read-Only Azure Architecture
WasteRadar connects strictly using the standard Azure Reader IAM role. We never request write, delete, restart, or update permissions on your cloud resources.
Tenant-Level Database Isolation
Every organization's telemetry and findings are strictly segregated using PostgreSQL Row-Level Security (RLS) policies enforced at the database kernel layer.
AES-256 GCM Encryption
All sensitive integration metadata and tokens are encrypted at rest using industry-standard AES-256-GCM cryptography with rotated encryption keys.
Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
Granular team permissions (Owner, Administrator, Member, Viewer) ensure team members only access subscriptions and data they are explicitly authorized to view.
Comprehensive Audit Logging
Every scan execution, rule trigger, finding export, and team invitation is recorded in tamper-evident audit logs for regulatory compliance.
reCAPTCHA Enterprise Defense
Automated bot mitigation and fraud prevention powered by Google reCAPTCHA Enterprise safeguards public endpoints and authentication flows.
