|Analyze Azure resources used in the app (IaC files and/or resources in a target rg) and optimize costs - creating GitHub issues for identified optimizations.
Overview
Azure Cost Optimize is a skill that analyzes Azure resources from both infrastructure-as-code files and live Azure resource groups to generate cost optimization recommendations. It discovers resources via Azure MCP tools and Azure CLI, applies Azure best practices, and creates individual GitHub issues for each optimization opportunity plus an EPIC issue to coordinate implementation.
Key Features
- Multi-Source Discovery - Discovers Azure infrastructure from both IaC files (Bicep, ARM templates) and live Azure resources using
azmcp-*MCP tools with Azure CLI as fallback - Best Practices Integration - Retrieves latest Azure optimization guidelines via
azmcp-bestpractices-getand applies them to inform analysis and recommendations - Comprehensive Resource Analysis - Analyzes compute, storage, networking, databases, and other Azure services for right-sizing, reserved instances, idle resource elimination, and tier optimization
- GitHub Issue Automation - Creates individual GitHub issues for each optimization with estimated savings, implementation steps, and risk assessment, plus an EPIC issue linking all related optimizations
- Azure MCP-First Approach - Prefers Azure MCP tools (
azmcp-subscription-list,azmcp-group-list) over direct CLI when available for streamlined discovery
Who is this for?
This skill is for Azure cloud engineers, FinOps practitioners, and DevOps teams who want to systematically identify and track cost optimization opportunities across their Azure infrastructure. It is particularly useful for organizations managing multiple Azure subscriptions and resource groups that want actionable, trackable optimization plans with GitHub issue integration.
