Reserved Instances

Use Reserved Instances wherever possible (Azure will often recommend). Make sure you are using the correct VM Type for your application.

Licensing

Use Hybrid licensing wherever possible. Checkexisting EA's or License agreements for Hybrid Use Rightsand exclude software on VM's where possible.

Storage

Consider Locally redundant storage (LRS) storage instead of Geo-redundant storage (GRS) storage if data redundancy is already in place elsewhere.

Desktop vs Server

Consider Windows 10/11 editions instead of Windows Server editions wherever possible (especially for multi-session instances)

Shut It Down

Remove services when not in use and set up Run Books to shut down servers when not needed (Eg After work hours).
