Microsoft Azure Health Check: A data-driven snapshot of waste, cost risk, and savings potential.
A focused, data-driven snapshot that uncovers hidden Microsoft Azure spend, inefficiencies, and optimisation opportunities.
The Microsoft Azure Health Check is a discrete, read-only
analysis powered by Surveil’s Azure intelligence engine. It provides a clear,
data-backed view of your current cloud posture — highlighting resource waste,
cost anomalies, optimisation opportunities, and governance gaps.
Designed to be fast, secure, and low-effort, the Health Check equips organisations with an early understanding of where financial and operational improvements can be made.
What the Health Check Provides
A summarized snapshot across your Microsoft Azure estate, including:
- Actual cost, usage, and consumption patterns across subscriptions and resource groups
- Identified waste signals such as idle resources, unattached disks, oversized compute, and underutilized services
- Savings opportunities across Reserved Instances, Savings Plans, storage, VM rightsizing, and high-cost workloads
- Governance insights including tagging gaps, cost allocation issues, and anomalies
- Security posture indicators via Azure Secure Score mapping
Why Organizations Run an Azure Health Check
Microsoft Azure grows fast and sometimes faster than governance and financial processes can keep up. Leaders turn to a Health Check when they need:
- Early clarity on where money is being wasted
- Proof points to justify optimisation or modernization initiatives
- Insight to prioritise RI/SP commitments
- Visibility into resource sprawl, tagging inconsistencies, and cost allocation challenges
- A neutral, data-driven view to support budget planning or upcoming Azure reviews
It's the quickest way to understand whether your Azure environment is aligned to cost, performance, and governance expectations.
The output is simple: A concise, executive-ready snapshot showing where Azure spend is leaking, where resources can be optimised, and where governance needs tightening — without deploying agents, disrupting workloads, or requiring long-term access.
Key Benefits
- Discover hidden savings (typically 15–40%) across compute, storage, reservations, and unused services
- Fast, frictionless onboarding using secure, short-term read-only access
- Clear visibility into resource waste and optimization candidates
- Better readiness for budgeting, forecasting, RI/SP planning, and modernization
- Insight into governance gaps including tagging completeness and cost allocation accuracy
- No obligation, no risk, no disruption — a safe first step before deeper optimization efforts
