Nobody wants a surprise when it comes to the bill, and this is where <a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/services\/cost-management\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Microsoft Cost Management<\/a> comes in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We&#8217;re always looking for ways to learn more about your challenges and how Microsoft Cost Management can help you better understand where you&#8217;re accruing costs in the cloud, identify and prevent bad spending patterns, and optimize costs to empower you to do more with less. Here are a few of the latest improvements and updates based on your feedback:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><a href=\"#Use%20tag%20inheritance%20to%20group%20by%20subscription%20and%20resource%20group%20tags\">Use tag inheritance to group by subscription and resource group tags<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><a href=\"#View%20cost%20change%20since%20previous%20period%20in%20the%20Cost%20analysis%20preview\">View cost change since previous period in the cost analysis preview<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><a href=\"#New%20cost%20recommendations%20for%20virtual%20machine%20scale%20sets\">New cost recommendations for virtual machine scale sets<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><a href=\"#labs\">What&#8217;s new in Cost Management Labs<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><a href=\"#save\">New ways to save money with Microsoft Cloud<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><a href=\"#New%20videos%20and%20learning%20opportunities\">New videos and learning opportunities<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><a href=\"#Documentation%20updates\">Documentation updates<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><a href=\"#Join%20the%20Microsoft%20Cost%20Management%20team\">Join the Microsoft Cost Management team<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let&#8217;s dig into the details.<a id=\"Use tag inheritance to group by subscription and resource group tags\" name=\"Use%20tag%20inheritance%20to%20group%20by%20subscription%20and%20resource%20group%20tags\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"use-tag-inheritance-to-group-by-subscription-and-resource-group-tags\">Use tag inheritance to group by subscription and resource group tags<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As organizations grow their cloud usage, they want the ability to slice their cloud costs in multiple ways to better manage and optimize their cloud costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example\u2014finance teams may want costs grouped by department for cost allocation reasons, making each department responsible for the costs depending on their cloud usage. Engineering teams typically want to group costs by application or environment to understand where and how much they\u2019re spending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tagging is an effective mechanism to group your costs but requires tagging every resource and relying on resource providers to support and emit tags with usage in the billing pipeline. To overcome these limitations and make it easier to use tags for cost reporting, you can now use the Cost Management tag inheritance preview to <u><strong>apply resource group and subscription tags to resource usage automatically in cost details.<\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With tag inheritance enabled, you can easily apply a single set of tags to your subscriptions rather than enforcing tag policies and tracking adoption, still to be left with some resources that don\u2019t include tags in their usage data. This covers broad scenarios like departmental chargeback or environment. To tag lower-level data like applications, you can apply tags to each resource group.<br>\nTag inheritance can be enabled on any Enterprise Agreement (EA) or Microsoft Customer Agreement (MCA) subscription. To enable tag inheritance across all subscriptions, enable it from the EA billing account or MCA billing profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can enable tag inheritance in Cost Management from Cost analysis by selecting <strong>Configure<\/strong> at the top of the page or by opening Cost Management directly and selecting <strong>Manage billing<\/strong> <strong>account<\/strong> (or <strong>billing profile<\/strong> or <strong>subscription<\/strong>) from the menu. On the management settings page, you\u2019ll see a <strong>Tag inheritance<\/strong> <strong>(preview)<\/strong> option with the current status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/044a9332-a511-40e0-9b83-1f618c12a9c2.webp\" alt=\"Screenshot showing the Edit option for Tag inheritance.\" title=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Select <strong>Edit<\/strong> to enable tag inheritance and decide how to handle conflicts when tag names match. Once enabled, you should start to see inherited tags in cost details APIs and experiences, like Cost analysis and scheduled exports, in 8\u201324 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/e705c398-cb82-4fd2-bfa1-ba7f129c8ff5.webp\" alt=\"Screenshot showing the Automatically apply subscription and resource group tags to new data option.\" title=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To learn more, see <a href=\"https:\/\/learn.microsoft.com\/en-us\/azure\/cost-management-billing\/costs\/enable-tag-inheritance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Group and allocate costs using tag inheritance<\/a>.<a id=\"View cost change since previous period in the Cost analysis preview\" name=\"View%20cost%20change%20since%20previous%20period%20in%20the%20Cost%20analysis%20preview\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"view-cost-change-since-previous-period-in-the-cost-analysis-preview\">View cost change since previous period in the Cost analysis preview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perhaps the most powerful aspect of the cloud is the flexibility it offers. But that flexibility comes at a cost\u2013and while you can always get a good cost estimate from the <a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/pricing\/calculator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Azure pricing calculator<\/a>, most of us aren\u2019t thinking about cost when we\u2019re focused on solving a problem. This is where cloud computing becomes challenging\u2013if we don\u2019t understand the cost implications of the changes we make, we may very well get a surprise at the end of the month. To help spot these changes sooner, you can now find the percentage change since the previous period in the Cost analysis preview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/cbebcfb0-1981-44eb-bdd3-54504b0a442d.webp\" alt=\"Screenshot of the cost analysis preview in the Azure portal with a 9% drop in cost when comparing November and October costs.\" title=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When your view is showing three months or less, the difference is calculated as the cost from the start of the period through yesterday, compared to the same days from the previous period. If showing more than three months, the date range uses the first month through the last month. If the current day or month are not part of the period you\u2019re looking at (such as last month), the entire period is compared to the previous period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pair this with the average cost KPI and anomaly insights, and the Cost analysis preview gives you several new ways to catch unexpected changes in your cost patterns. If you aren\u2019t using the Cost analysis preview yet, I recommend checking it out. We\u2019re currently rolling out another change to help you start with the best view, so it would be good to share your thoughts early. Give the <a href=\"https:\/\/aka.ms\/costanalysis\/preview\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cost analysis preview<\/a> a shot and let us know what you think using the rating button at the bottom.<a id=\"New cost recommendations for virtual machine scale sets\" name=\"New%20cost%20recommendations%20for%20virtual%20machine%20scale%20sets\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"new-cost-recommendations-for-virtual-machine-scale-sets\">New cost recommendations for virtual machine scale sets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cost optimization is on everyone\u2019s minds these days. With a huge uptick in the usage of virtual machine scale sets (VMSS) over recent years, ensuring efficient use of VMSS resources is more important than ever. And as with virtual machines, one of the best ways to drive efficiency of VMSS is by right-sizing or deleting underutilized resources. To that end, <a href=\"https:\/\/learn.microsoft.com\/azure\/advisor\/advisor-overview\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Azure Advisor<\/a> now includes cost optimization recommendations for VMSS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Given the scale at which VMSS runs with multiple virtual machine instances, right-sizing is even more critical. So not only is it possible to over-provision the size or stock keeping unit (SKU) of the virtual machines, it\u2019s also possible to over-provision the instances relative to the needs of the workloads running on these virtual machines. VMSS may also be used as the underlying infrastructure for Service Fabric, which has certain recommendations on the number of instances to be used, based on the reliability\/durability tier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Azure Advisor takes all these complexities into account while generating recommendations that are sure to save on your costs, while not impacting the performance or reliability of your workloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/a064f4ce-e690-47a1-a19d-c7953ec2cbb5.webp\" alt=\"Screenshot of virtual machine scale set recommendations in Azure Advisor.\" title=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Overall, these recommendations represent close to $23 million in potential monthly savings!
