The Problem

Five things quietly raising your Azure costs

You don't have to make a mistake for this to happen. It affects most organizations that use Azure without a dedicated cloud specialist.

Ghost Resources

Old test environments and forgotten VMs nobody deleted — Azure keeps billing for all of it.

⚠ avg. €120–€340/mo

Orphaned Storage

Deleted VMs leave their disks behind — doing nothing but costing money every month.

⚠ avg. €80–€200/mo

Oversized Servers

Paying for a large VM when you only use 20% of its capacity is common — and expensive.

⚠ avg. €150/mo

No Cost Monitoring

Without alerts, you won't know costs are climbing until the invoice arrives.

⚠ invisible until too late

24/7 Dev Servers

Your team works 8 hours. Servers run 24. Scheduling off-hours shutdowns recovers significant spend.

⚠ avg. €200/mo
Where Savings Come From

Three tools. Three real numbers.

Not estimates — real figures based on the Azure tools used in every audit.

Azure Automation
€200
per month

Off-hours shutdown

Dev servers switch off automatically overnight and restart when your team arrives.

Azure Advisor
€150
per month

Right-sizing VMs

Identifies oversized VMs and recommends the correct tier — no performance loss.

Terraform IaC
€100
per month

Ghost resource cleanup

Old VMs and unused storage identified and removed with your review first.

Azure Monitor

surprises prevented

Real-time alerts

Alerts trigger before spending exceeds your threshold — before it becomes an invoice.

About

Cloud Engineer specializing
in Microsoft Azure.

I'm a Cloud Engineer with hands-on experience helping organizations optimize their Azure environments and reduce cloud costs. I work closely with companies to identify wasted resources, streamline their infrastructure, and build cost-efficient cloud strategies that deliver real results.

Beyond cloud work, I also provide support for on-premise infrastructure — including physical server setup and hypervisor installation. I work remotely, but I'm always available to come on-site if your project requires hands-on work at your location.

FAQ

Common questions

Not answered here? Email me — I reply within 24 hours.

No — I only request read-only access. I can see your resources and costs but cannot change anything without your explicit approval.
Yes. I work remotely by default, but I'm fully available to visit your location for physical server work, hypervisor installation, or any hands-on infrastructure project anywhere in Belgium.
Your full written report arrives within 5 working days of me getting access. If your environment is larger, I'll let you know upfront.
If I can't identify at least 15% in potential savings from your current Azure spend, you pay nothing. That's a written commitment.
Both. Reports and conversations can be in English or Dutch — your preference.
