Cloud Cost Optimization • FinOps
Reduce Azure Cloud Cost Without Compromising Performance.
Cloud spending grows quickly when resources are oversized, idle, poorly governed or not aligned with actual workload demand. NVRA Consultancy helps organizations discover cloud waste, optimize Azure architecture and establish continuous FinOps governance.

Don't simply reduce Azure resources. Optimize the architecture.
Our objective is to reduce unnecessary cloud expenditure while maintaining the required security, performance, availability and business SLAs.
What We Analyze
15 Areas Where Azure Cost Can Be Optimized
We examine infrastructure, platform services, databases, monitoring, networking and purchasing commitments to identify practical savings opportunities.
02
App Service SKUs
Review App Service tiers, instance counts, scaling patterns and application utilization.
Right-size • Consolidate • Scale03
Azure SQL DTU / vCore
Evaluate database utilization and workload patterns to avoid unnecessary database capacity.
Right-size • Optimize Tier04
Storage
Review storage tiers, disks, snapshots, lifecycle policies and unnecessary retained data.
Tier • Lifecycle • Cleanup05
Log Analytics
Analyze ingestion, retention and workspace usage to reduce unnecessary monitoring expenditure.
Ingestion • Retention • Governance06
Application Insights
Review telemetry volume, sampling and retention to maintain observability without excessive cost.
