The Azure Cost Challenge

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.

01

Cloud spend grows silently.

As teams deploy and scale services, infrastructure expands across subscriptions without centralized waste oversight.

Financial Impact: Monthly bills creep up 15–30% without corresponding traffic growth.
02

Unused resources hide inside Azure.

When virtual machines are removed, their disks, network interfaces, and public IPs often remain active — continuing to bill.

Financial Impact: Orphaned storage and compute retainers remain completely undetected.
03

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.

Financial Impact: Optimization becomes a reactive, once-a-year fire drill.
Three-Pillar FinOps Workflow

From cloud bill to clear action.

WasteRadar transforms raw Azure telemetry into structured financial intelligence that engineering and finance teams can immediately act on.

DISCOVER
Step 01 • Inventory & Scan

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.

Key Capabilities:

  • Unattached managed disks & orphaned snapshots
  • Stopped & deallocated virtual machines
  • Unbound static public IPv4 reservations
  • Multi-subscription inventory exploration
UNDERSTAND
Step 02 • Analysis & Context

Understand exactly what drives monthly spending changes. View breakdown by service, track daily run-rate forecasts, and monitor budget thresholds in real time.

Key Capabilities:

  • Deterministic month-end run-rate projection
  • Cost anomaly detection & spike alerts
  • Subscription & resource group spend attribution
  • AI-assisted FinOps query interpretation
ACT
Step 03 • Governance & Remediation

Prioritize opportunities and track remediation.

Turn findings into clear remediation tasks. Track opportunities through our audit-grade 4-stage pipeline to distinguish potential savings from verified realized savings.

Automated Waste Detection

Find the Azure waste hiding in your bill.

WasteRadar connects your Azure estate, identifies recurring waste and shows exactly where your money is going.

Compute & Virtual Machines
HIGH

Stopped (Not Deallocated) VM

Virtual machine stopped in guest OS remains allocated in Azure fabric, continuing compute reservations and OS disk fees.

Evidence: VM power state is Stopped (Allocated) with premium OS disks actively metering.
Financial Impact:$90 / month potential waste
Recommended Action:

Deallocate compute instance in Azure Portal or via automated schedule.

Managed Storage
HIGH

Unattached Managed Disk

An unused managed disk has continued generating storage charges without any attached virtual machine.

Evidence: Managed disk object with ManagedBy property null for > 7 days.
Financial Impact:$62 / month potential waste
Recommended Action:

Delete the unattached disk if data is not needed, or archive to cold storage.

Compute & Virtual Machines
HIGH

Idle Dev/Test Jumpbox

Development jumpbox virtual machine running 24/7 with zero active SSH connections or CPU utilization outside business hours.

Evidence: Average CPU load < 2% with zero weekend activity over 30 days.
Financial Impact:$54 / month potential waste
Recommended Action:

Apply automated nightly shutdown schedule to reduce runtime by 70%.

Storage & Backups
MEDIUM

Orphaned Disk Snapshot

Point-in-time disk backup snapshot retained long after the originating parent disk has been modified or decommissioned.

Evidence: Disk snapshot creation date > 90 days with obsolete parent reference.
Financial Impact:$28 / month potential waste
Recommended Action:

Prune obsolete snapshot retention policies and archive cold backups.

Virtual Networking
MEDIUM

Unused Static Public IPs

Static IPv4 addresses allocated in subscriptions that are not associated with any active network interface or load balancer.

Evidence: 3 orphaned Public IP address resources with null IP configuration bindings.
Financial Impact:$11 / month potential waste
Recommended Action:

Release public IP address reservations back to Azure allocation pool.

Managed Storage
MEDIUM

Unattached ML Scratch Disks

Temporary machine learning data processing volume left behind unattached after training batch job completion.

Evidence: SSD storage volume unattached for 14+ consecutive days.
Financial Impact:$18.50 / month potential waste
Recommended Action:

Purge scratch volume upon pipeline task completion.

Why Modern FinOps Requires Automation

WasteRadar vs. manual Azure Portal reviews

Manual portal checking is slow, reactive, and leaves thousands of dollars of orphaned infrastructure undetected every month.

Automated continuous scanning via Azure Resource Graph with daily spike alerts
Finding Prioritization

ENTERPRISE AI SECURITY

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.

FINOPS DETERMINISTIC SOURCE OF TRUTH

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.

CLOUD PLATFORM CONTROLS

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.
