Turning Azure Platform recommendations into Gold
summary
Companies discover that cloud costs and risks grow fast and that platform recommendations often sit ignored; about a third wasted spend shows up on bills and Azure Advisor and Azure cost tools flag concrete savings that rarely get implemented. Compliance drifts as Azure Policy morphs — 34641 policy changes in under two weeks in one example — while Microsoft Defender surfaces hundreds of alerts. The practical fixes named are automated policy remediation, reusable infrastructure-as-code blueprints, Azure deployment environments (Fidalgo) and focused FinOps and cloud security/monitoring (Azure Monitor, Microsoft Learn).
