The Azure Resource Optimization Toolkit is a decentralized, native Azure solution using serverless technologies to optimize Azure resources on your subscription. Optimization happens automatically on your subscription once you enable or create your own schedule, including on new resources. This is an Azure Automation account with preconfigured runbooks and schedules you can utilize on your subscription to start saving money.
