In the never-ending quest to operate as cost-effectively as possible without sacrificing security, performance, and reliability, staying ahead of ever-evolving Microsoft Azure cloud services and best practices can be a challenge. That’s where Microsoft Azure Advisor comes in.
Microsoft Azure Advisor is a service that analyzes your usage and configurations and pulls in recommendations from across other Azure services—including Azure Security Center, Azure Cost Management, and Azure SQL Database—to help you optimize your Azure resources—all in a centralized source of best practices and advice. Here are some tips on how Microsoft Azure Advisor integrates with other services to help optimize your workloads.
Azure Security Center integrates with Advisor to add additional actions that help safeguard your workloads. This improved integration provides a detailed summary of your security alerts and recommendations from Security Center in Advisor, as well as automates security recommendations through Advisor REST, API, CLI, or PowerShell.
Azure Cost Management services analyzes, manages, and optimizes the costs of your cloud workloads. When integrated with Advisor, Cost management allows you to see recommendations in either service so you can streamline your cloud costs.
