Azure savings plan usage

34 Views Asked by At

TL/DR: How can I see which compute service is consuming what percentage of my saving plan?

I have an Azure savings plan for compute. I have multiple App Services, an AKS cluster, and an Container App Environment. The compute used for all three of these services is offset by the savings plan.

The problem is, I can't figure out which of those services consumes what percentage of that savings plan. How can I use the cost analysis tool to know if my AKS nodes or my App Service compute is consuming the majority of my savings plan.

In other words, I want to reduce my spend, but I'd like to know which compute service I should focus on. Should I right size my cluster nodes or app service plans? I get in the end I'll do both, but having this data would help me know which one to start on

Thanks!

The key appears to be using Amortized Cost instead of Actual Cost

looking at the previous month, filtering on

  • my subscription
  • Service Family (set to Compute)
  • Pricing Model (set to Savings Plan)

and then grouping by the Service Name....

I can see the Amortized Cost (which more or less aligns with what I see in my invoice for my savings plan) and get a break down of the amount each service (ie VMs (ie AKS nodes) and App Service) "consumed" from the Savings Plan.
